It is shown that the structural and compositional perfection of the inverted interface is strongly affected by excess arsenic during growth. Moreover, it is found that the accumulation of the dominant, arsenic vacancy-related defect on the AlAs side of the inverted interface is neither influenced by the As/sub 4/ flux, nor by the growth rate.","PeriodicalId":391894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Semiconducting and Semi-Insulating Materials Conference","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126760714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
