- Abstract
The effects of V/III ratio and seed window orientation on the coalescence of epitaxial lateral overgrowth InP over SiO using metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy with tertiary butyl phosphine were investigated. Parallel lines having θ = 60° and 30° off [0 $$ \bar{1} $$1] were coalesced, and their lateral growth rate variation with V/III was measured. Coalescence of lines separated by narrow angles in a star-like pattern was also studied. We find the greatest extent of coalescence to occur when the window stripe is oriented just off of the ⟨010⟩ directions. V/III ratio strongly affects the extent of coalescence, showing an alternating enhancement or inhibition depending on which side of the ⟨010⟩ direction the stripes are oriented. The variation in quality of coalesced material between stripes separated by narrow angles is examined with cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, illustrating the most problematic growth directions under two V/III ratio conditions.
