Sn has been used extensively as an n-type dopant in GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The surface accumulation of Sn during the growth of Sn-doped GaAs has been observed by several investigators. It is still not clear whether the accumulation of Sn is a kinetically hindered process, as proposed first by Wood and Joyce, or surface segregation due to thermodynamic factors. The proposed donor-incorporation mechanisms were based on experimental results from such techniques as secondary ion mass spectrometry, Auger electron spectroscopy, and C-V measurements. In the present study, electron microscopy was used in combination with cross-section specimen preparation. The information on the morphology and microstructure of the surface accumulation can be obtained in a fine scale and may confirm several suggestions from indirect experimental evidence in the previous studies.

AbstractMetastable solid-solutions in the MgO-CaO system grow readily on MgO at 300°C by molecular beam epitaxy. We observe RHEED oscillations indicating a layer-by-layer growth mode; in-plane orientation can be described by the Matthews theory of island rotations. Although some films start to unmix at 500°C, others have been observed to be stable up to 900°C. The Mgl-xCaxO solid solutions grow despite a larger miscibility gap in this system than in any system for which epitaxial solid solutions have been grown. We describe attempts to use these materials as adjustable-lattice constant epitaxial building blocks
