metamorphic GaSb films on Si

Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B
This paper reports on correlation of growth-related defects and electrical properties in GaSb films grown on different Si substrates using metamorphic buffers. Large lattice mismatch between GaSb and Si (∼11%) results in the formation of threading dislocations (TDs) and microtwins (MTs) along with antiphase domains due to the lack of inversion symmetry in III-V's.
