Abstract
We compare the use of compositionally linearly graded Inx Ga1-xAs and In1-yGayP buffer layers for growing InP-based heterostructures on GaAs substrates. For both cases, a two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth mode is maintained. These buffers are effective in relaxing the top active layers almost completely and isotropically. Optical properties of In0.53Ga 0.47As/InP and InAszP1-z/InP quantum wells are comparable to similar structures grown on InP substrates. The advantages of InyGa1-yP over InxGa1-xAs buffer layers are discussed. The quantum-confined Stark effect is observed near 1.3 μm for InAs0.4P0.6/InP multiple quantum wells grown on GaAs
