Abstract
The metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of epitaxial III‐V semiconductor alloys on III‐V substrates is reviewed in detail. The emphasis is placed on both practical and theoretical knowledge of the equipment and deposition process. The chemistry of the source alkyls and the dynamics of the transport process are discussed. The growth of the GaAs and AlxGa1−xAs systems are treated as prototypical examples (and the most studied) of the III‐V materials. Latter sections review InP, Ga1−xInxAs, and related alloys. Finally, the antimonide and the other systems are reviewed. Electronic and optical devices fabricated from MOCVD‐grown materials are used as examples of the capabilities of the growth technique.

Near-IR emission of InGaN quasi-quantum dots on non-polar GaN nanowire structures

TL;DR: In this article, a 1-dimensional nanowire and a 0-dimensional quantum dot structure were integrated using an MOCVD system, and the formation of a high-efficiency quantum-sliding heterostructure and high-quality nan-ire structure was confirmed by FE-SEM and TEM measurements.

Wigner Function Modeling of the Resonant Tunneling Diode

TL;DR: In this article, a number of techniques have been developed which have allowed semiconductor devices to be fabricated with ever-smaller feature sizes using MBE and MOCVD epitaxial growth techniques, which leads to potential variations along one (growth) direction that vary on scales as small as one atomic layer.
