We report the growth of InSb on GaAs using InAlSb buffers of high interest for magnetic field sensors. We have grown samples by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition consisting of {approx}0.55{micro}m thick InSb layers with resistive InAlSb buffers on GaAs substrates with measured electron mobilities of {approx}40,000 cm{sup 2}/V.s. We have investigated the In{sub 1-x}Al{sub x}Sb buffers for compositions x {le} 0.22 and have found that the best results are obtained near x = 0.12 due to the tradeoff of buffer layer bandgap and lattice mismatch.
