This study describes the application of a dc-plasma to stimulate growth of InP in a MOCVD system using In(C2 H5)3 and PH3. Precracking of PH3 enables a substantial reduction of the growth temperature to well below 500 K. In addition, at temperatures where InP is commonly deposited (∼870 K) a significant lowering of the V/III input ratio is possible. The fact that InP is relatively insensitive to low energy ion bombardement permits deposition in a canal ray configuration.
