Abstract

We report the first detailed TEM, TED and HREM results for atomic ordering in (001) MOCVD In0.53Ga0.47As layers. Ordering of the CuPt-type was observed in layers grown below 650°C, with a maximum degree of ordering occurring at 550°C. At 600°C the degree of ordering was lower for a slower growth rate. In the layers grown at 550°C, separate columnar-like ordered regions of the two observed {111} variants were present and these contained antiphase boundaries (APBs) whose density and orientation strongly depended on the growth rate. Mechanisms are suggested to explain the observations.
