Abstract
A virtual substrate for high quality InAs epitaxial layer has been attained via metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy growth of Sb-assisted InxGa1-xAs metamorphic buffers, following a convex compositional continuous gradient of the In content from x = 53% to 100%. The use of trimethylantimony (or its decomposition products) as a surfactant has been found to crucially enable the control over the defect formation during the relaxation process. Moreover, an investigation of the wafer offcut-dependence of the defect formation and surface morphology has enabled the achievement of a reliably uniform growth on crystals with offcut towards the (111) B direction.
