We have successfully grown, through the detailed control of the growth kinetics, flat InAlAs metamorphic buffer layers on 2 degrees -off GaAs(111)A substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. Almost full plastic relaxation is obtained for a layer thickness > 40 nm. The control of an adatom diffusion length and a step ejection probability from the bunches permits a reduction of the InAlAs epilayer root-mean-square surface roughness to 0.55 nm.

Abstract

We have successfully grown, through the detailed control of the growth kinetics, flat InAlAs metamorphic buffer layers on 2 degrees -off GaAs(111)A substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. Almost full plastic relaxation is obtained for a layer thickness > 40 nm. The control of an adatom diffusion length and a step ejection probability from the bunches permits a reduction of the InAlAs epilayer root-mean-square surface roughness to 0.55 nm.
