X-Ray DCD and EPMA Measurements of Al Concentration in Epitaxial AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs Layers

View through CrossRef
AbstractDouble Crystal X-Ray Diffraction (DCD) is often used to determine the Al content of AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs epitaxial layers. Assessing composition from a measurement of mismatch is problematic because it invokes a number of assumptions. This study bypasses these difficulties by comparing the measurement of mismatch directly with Al composition measurements made by electronprobe microanalysis. A study of coherent epitaxial AlxGa1-xAs layers showed that mismatch varies linearly with composition. The equation Al (x) = |ΔΘ| / 368 summarizes the relationship over the coherent range, where |ΔΘ| is measured in arc seconds.
