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.

Solution-Liquid-Solid Growth of Crystalline III-V Semiconductors: An Analogy to Vapor-Liquid-Solid Growth

TL;DR: In this article, a solution-liquid-solid mechanism for the growth of InP, InAs, and GaAs is described that uses simple, low-temperature (≤203°C), solution-phase reactions.

Multiple quantum well (MQW) waveguide modulators

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the last few years in this field and some future directions is presented. But the authors do not discuss the use of MQW's in optical modulators.

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.

Organometallic VPE Growth of InAs1-xSbx on InAs

TL;DR: In this article, the vapor-solid distribution relations for the group V elements were obtained and a simplified formula for the distribution relation, which assumes thermodynamical equilibrium, was fitted with experimental results, and lattice deformations rocking-curve measurements were made using X-ray double-crystal diffraction for (004) and (115) planes.

THE GROWTH OF MAGNESIUM-DOPED GaAs BY THE OM-VPE PROCESS

TL;DR: Magnesium-doped GaAs has been grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OM-VPE) as discussed by the authors, and the material is of high electrical and optical quality; controllable doping over the range 1015 to 1019cm-3 is reproducibly attained.

Prevention of InP surface decomposition in liquid phase epitaxial growth

TL;DR: In this article, an increase in P partial pressure compared to that at the InP liquidus is explained. But the increase is not due to increased solubility in In•Sn•P solutions.
