Abstract

A study by Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM) of strained InGaAs/InAlAs systems on InP substrates is presented. The influence of the lattice mismatch, epilayer thickness and modulation of the lattice parameter on the morphology of the system is analyzed. A discussion of the strain relaxation mechanisms occurring for each growth morphology is also presented.
