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.

Organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE)

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of AlGaAs OMVPE in an RDR under conditions used for growing typical device heterostructures is presented, where the authors use typical growth conditions as a starting point for a discussion of fundamental physical and chemical phenomena, beginning with the fluid flow through a RDR and ending with chemical reactions on the surface.

Experimental realization of a resonant tunneling transistor

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported experimental realization of a three-terminal negative differential resistance (NDR) device, which consists of a GaAs−AlxGa1−xAs double-barrier tunneling heterostructure, the current through which is controlled by an integrated vertical field effect transistor.
