Abstract :
Selective area growth of InP is carried out on an InP precoated [001] 2° off Si substrate in a low pressure hydride vapor phase epitaxy system under different gas phase supersaturation. Epitaxial lateral overgrowth can be formed on a Si3N4 mask under certain growth conditions, which has improved crystallographic quality of the InP seed layer. A crystallographic model is proposed to demonstrate the observed asymmetric growth profile of selective area growth.
