    We have studied the structural and electrical characteristics of InAsSb ternary layers grown on GaAs (001) substrates by hot wall epitaxy (HWE) at arsenic (As) reservoir temperature in the range from 220 to 290 °C. The growth rate of the epilayer is found to be decreased with increasing As temperature. This is attributed to the abundance of group V molecules to the growth surface, which suppresses the mass transport of Indium (In) atoms. A dramatic change in the surface morphologies of the samples has been observed by scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the arsenic composition of the layer can be controlled by manipulating As temperature. Hall effect results of the samples show that the electron mobility of the layer decreases with increasing As temperature

    The effect of gravity on dissolution of GaSb in InSb melt and growth of InGaSb was experimentally investigated using GaSb(seed)/InSb/GaSb(feed) sandwich samples. Two parameters were considered: (1) the inclination angle of the sample for gravity as 0°, 53° and 90°, (2) the sample diameter (D) as 9 mm and 5mm. When θ =0°, the interface was almost flat whereas the interfaces were strongly distorted when θ = 53° and 90°. The undissolved GaSb(feed) remained for \theta = 0 °. However, it dissolved completely for θ = 90°, and partially for θ = 53°. As the gravitational angle was increased, the growth length of uniform composition became long. The decrease of sample diameter reduced the dissolution area of GaSb. These facts indicated that the dissolution and growth processes were strongly influenced by gravity

    Tellurium (Te) impurity was revealed to have a significant effect on morphology of GaSb epilayer grown on GaSb (001) circular patterned substrates by liquid phase epitaxy. This was clarified by comparing GaSb epilayers with or without Te doping under identical growth conditions. After addition of Te, it was found that (311)B facet appeared instead of (111)B while (111)A was kept. The cross-sectional (110) plane of Te doped GaSb epilayer after stain etching in a permanganate etchant revealed that two boundaries separating differently doped upper and lateral parts of epilayer existed, moreover, some Te impurity striations were found in the lateral part of epilayer while no one was found in upper part. The time-development of growth morphology of Te doped GaSb epilayer was studied. It was found that (311)B facet appeared initially and formed dominantly after 3 hours´ growth and the epilayer in initial state was concave
