摘要
The homoepitaxial growth of GaAs(110) thin films by molecular beam epitaxy has been studied in situ by reflection high-energy diffraction. RHEED specular beam intensity oscillations were recorded over a wide range of growth conditions in which the substrate temperature, growth rate, V/III flux ratio and the relative amount of As-2 or As-4 in the incident arsenic beam were varied. These conditions were plotted to produce a phase map of the growth conditions for which specular intensity oscillations were recordable. RHEED oscillations were obtained over a much wider range of growth conditions when using As-2 compared to growth using As-4. It is shown that this is related to the very different incorporation coefficients of the two arsenic species and reflects the requirement of a high arsenic adatom concentration in order to maintain the 1:1 stoichiometry of the nonpolar (110) surface.
