ETCHING AND X-RAY-DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF THE 111-A-FACES AND 111-B-FACES OF GAXIN1-XPYAS1-Y CRYSTALS

The (111)-A and (111)-B faces of InP crystals were identified by x-ray measurements and were correlated with etching studies that reveal crystallo-graphic etch pits on the (111)-A faces and round deep pits and saucer pits on (111)-B. These etching studies were extended to (111)-A and (111)-B faces of InPxAs1-x and GaxIn1-xPyAs1-y crystals. © 1979, The Electrochemical Society, Inc. All rights reserved.
