Using TMGa and TEGa simultaneously for the metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy growth of GaAs, interactions between the precursors have been observed. Whereas the resulting growth rate is unaffected, the obtained carrier concentrations reveal deviations up to 85% from the superpositioned values. Separate and common injection of both group III alkyls have been investigated. From these, interactions within the common group III injector, if they take place at all, are found to be negligible compared to interactions on the surface. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
