Abstract

The effect of bismuth on the structural perfection of elastically strained AlGaInSbBi epitaxial layers grown on InSb substrates in a temperature gradient field is studied. The optimal parameters of the growth process of AlGaInSbBi(InSb) epitaxial layers with high structural perfection and minimum roughness are revealed: 0.05 < \(x_{{{\text{Bi}}}}^{s}\) < 0.2 mole fraction, temperature gradient 10 K/cm ≤ G ≤ 30 K/cm, liquid-zone thickness 60 ≤ l ≤ 100 µm, and the temperature range 623 K ≤ Т ≤ 823 K.
