摘要: The growth of InP by low‐pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on vicinal Si(111), misoriented 3° towards [112], is reported. By double crystal x‐ray diffraction an order magnitude improvement in structural quality measured as compared to Si(001). From high resolution electron microscopy near the interface a heavily twinned region 25 nm thickness found with microtwins having their twin planes parallel Si(111) surface. In this 8% misfit between and Si completely accommodated one dimension partial dislocations Burgers vectors a/6〈112〉 (Schockley dislocations) (111) surface plane which are associated formation thin close interface. Above zone crystallographic orientations identical those substrate.
