Abstract
Researchers at NIST have shown that the oxidation kinetics of AlgaAs are independent of semiconductor growth method and edge preparation conditions. They found that the oxidation rate did not depend on whether the initial layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy or metalorganic chemical vapor deposition.
