Abstract

We describe the characteristics and performance of a combined desk-side high resolution X-ray diffractometer and room temperature photoluminescence spectrometer designed for rapid mapping of compound semiconductors in a production line context. The combined data for AIGaAs on GaAs suggest that recent measurements of the lattice constant and the Poisson ratio of AlAs may be more reliable than earlier published values. We illustrate the instrument performance in showing that for lattice matched ternary GaInP on GaAs systems, the X-ray rocking curve maps are much more sensitive to composition variation than the photoluminescence spectra.
