Abstract :
An in situ In etch technique is described for l.p.e. growth of InP. This method eliminates substrate `sensitivity¿ to orientation difficulties and removes any need for melt supersaturation to obtain good morphology. In addition, in situ etching removes any substrate pitting or type conversion which degrades actual device performance.
