Abstract
The angular dependences of the lateral growth rate are determined as a function of growth temperature in liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) of (1 1 1)A,B InP at Tg = 450-490°C. From the observations of the deformation of artificially made tables after epitaxy, the lateral growth rate has shown a maximum in the 〈 1 1 2 〉 direction steps on (1 1 1)B at Tg = 450°C. This indicated that the kink density was high in the 〈 1 1 2 〉 direction on the InP (1 1 1)B surface. It is also shown that the anisotropy of lateral growth rate decreases as the growth temperature becomes high on (1 1 1)B. And isotropic lateral growth rate was observed on the (1 1 1) A surface at Tg = 450°C. From these results, the kink-step structures during LPE on the {1 1 1} InP surface were discussed.
