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.

Substrate‐orientation dependence of GaN single‐crystal films grown by metalorganic vapor‐phase epitaxy

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth kinetics of GaN layers were discussed by developing a tentative model, and the results showed that GaN has better crystallinity and higher Zn incorporation efficiency than those on the (0112) and (0001) sapphire.

Solution−Liquid−Solid Growth of Indium Phosphide Fibers from Organometallic Precursors: Elucidation of Molecular and Nonmolecular Components of the Pathway

TL;DR: In the subsequent nonmolecular component of the pathway, the resulting (InP)n fragments dissolve into a dispersion of molten In droplets, and recrystallize as the InP fibers.
