摘要
Growth modes and lattice relaxation processes in the heteroepitaxial growth of GaAs films on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with atomic hydrogen irradiation have been investigated for different growth temperatures. We have found that atomic hydrogen delays the onset of Island growth and lattice relaxation at a substrate temperature of 350-degrees-C because of the presence and interaction of hydrogen atoms with incoming atoms on the surface at this temperature range. At 450-degrees-C, no significant differences in the lattice relaxation process between the MBE growth with and without the atomic hydrogen irradiation were observed. This change in the growth mode is believed to be an important factor which affects the mechanism of strain relaxation.
