Morphological stability of solid/liquid interface in semiconductor crystal growth from solution has been investigated using a near-infrared microscopic interferometer under a reduced convection condition by authors and Prof. Benz’s group. In the result, step kinetic coefficient of the interface of GaP/GaP(111)B in liquid phase epitaxy growth was obtained and the estimated value of macrostep wavelength agreed well with the measured one.
