In-situ x-ray studies of OMVPE growth

This paper summarizes recent in situ x-ray analyses of the growth of GaAs by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE). This growth was carried out using tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs) and trimethylgallium (TMG) as the source materials. Examples of in situ x-ray measurements are given including x-ray absorption studies of gas phase behavior and x-ray scattering studies of layer-by-layer growth.
