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.

Thin Film Deposition

TL;DR: The methods for the deposition of thin organic and inorganic films fall into three broad categories: chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition (PVD), and overlapping techniques which combine both physical and chemical processes as mentioned in this paper.

Alterations in the heme biosynthetic pathway from the III-V semiconductor metal, indium arsenide (InAs)

TL;DR: The results of these studies indicate that both the In and As moieties of InAs are biologically active following InAs exposure and that the enzymes in the heme pathway, such as ALAD, may have great utility as markers of exposure/toxicity for these agents.
