Abstract

Ordering formation in In0.52Al0.48As alloys grown on (0 0 1) InP substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In the plan-view selective area diffraction pattern, the 12 superlattice reflections around the transmitted spot and the {2 0 0} spots were observed, which are associated with the chalcopyrite- and CuAu-type ordered structures. In the InAlAs consisting of III-III-V elements, these ordered phases with the rod-shaped domains elongated along the [2 2 0] show the coexistence of CuAu- and chalcopyrite-type ordered structures. An atomic model showing the formation process of the diffraction pattern of the chalcopyrite- and CuAu-type ordered structures is presented here based on the TEM results.
