摘要
The growth of InSb films on a Si(0 0 1) substrate with AlSb buffer layer was performed in an ultra high vacuum chamber (UHV) by a co-evaporation of elemental Indium (In) and antimony (Sb) sources. The samples were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The surface morphology and the crystal quality of the grown films strongly depend on the flux ratio of Sb/In. It is found that the optimized flux ratio for the one-step growth procedure is about 2.9 to obtain the InSb films with smooth surface and good crystal quality, for the growth temperature of 300 degrees C. The two-step growth procedure was also used to further improve the crystal quality of the films. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
