The authors use methods of physicochemical analysis to investigate the GaSb-Cd-Sn cross sections of the phase diagram of the quaternary Ga-Sb-Cd-Sn system to choose the conditions for liquid-phase epitaxy of GaSb from mixed metallic melts of Cd with Sn, making it possible to obtain GaSb epitaxial layers doped concurrently with group-II and IV elements. Using differential thermal, x-ray crystallographic, and microstructural analyses as well as microhardness measurements, the authors studied the polythermal cross sections of the GaSb-Cd-Sn system. The redistribution of Sn and Cd atoms in the GaSb lattice as the temperature of the onset of epitaxial growth varies has a determining effect on the electrical, optical and structural properties of the epitaxial layers.
