The lattice mismatch strain between the InAs0.32Sb0.68 layer and the GaAs substrate was accommodated using a thin 50-100 nm Ga0.35In0.65Sb buffer with interfacial misfit (IMF) dislocations. The epitaxial structures were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis. The threading dislocation density in the InAs0.32Sb0.68 layer was reduced successfully to ?1 × 108 cm-2 using the combination of a Ga0.35In0.65Sb IMF buffer and InSb/Ga0.35In0.65Sb superlattice layers. Compared to GaSb/GaAs and InSb/GaAs interfaces, a significantly higher threading dislocation density (>1011 cm-2) was observed at the Ga0.35In0.65Sb/GaAs interface. Detailed analysis suggests that high threading dislocation density in the Ga0.35In0.65Sb IMF buffer could be due to the non-uniform microscopic distribution of indium and gallium atoms. This work is beneficial to the scientific community in the growth of the InAs0.32Sb0.68 material as it provides a novel approach to prepare a platform for the growth of the InAs0.32Sb0.68 material, which does not have a suitable lattice-matched substrate, on the widely available GaAs substrate. © 2021 Author(s). | Source Title: | AIP Advances | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/233214 | ISSN: | 2158-3226 | DOI: | 10.1063/5.0045483 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
