Sn has been used extensively as an n-type dopant in GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The surface accumulation of Sn during the growth of Sn-doped GaAs has been observed by several investigators. It is still not clear whether the accumulation of Sn is a kinetically hindered process, as proposed first by Wood and Joyce, or surface segregation due to thermodynamic factors. The proposed donor-incorporation mechanisms were based on experimental results from such techniques as secondary ion mass spectrometry, Auger electron spectroscopy, and C-V measurements. In the present study, electron microscopy was used in combination with cross-section specimen preparation. The information on the morphology and microstructure of the surface accumulation can be obtained in a fine scale and may confirm several suggestions from indirect experimental evidence in the previous studies.

InGaN alloys with indium compositions ranging from 0–40% have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The dependence of the indium incorporation on growth temperature and group III/group V ratio has been studied. Scanning tunneling microscopy images, interpreted using first-principles theoretical computations, show that there is strong indium surface segregation on InGaN. Based on this surface segregation, a qualitative model is proposed to explain the observed indium incorporation dependence on the growth parameters.
