Selective area metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy of gallium arsenide on silicon

چکیده
The selective area, metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy of gallium arsenide on silicon substrates was investigated. Low-temperature arsenic passivation of the silicon surface was realized at 650 1C. A two-step growth method was used to deposit the GaAs films with an optimum nucleation temperature of 400 1C. Layers nucleated at 350 1C or below were found to be polycrystalline whereas those nucleated at 400 1C and above were single crystal. The X-ray diffraction full-width-at-half-maximum decreased from 890 to 775 arcsec for a 1.0-mm-thick GaAs layer grown on unpatterned versus patterned Si (1 0 0) wafers. The 77K photoluminescence peak position was 1.489 and 1.498 eV for a 1.0-mm-thick GaAs layer on unpatterned and patterned substrates, respectively. Based on the photoluminescence peak shift, we find that selective area growth of GaAs on Si improves film crystallinity while reducing the in plane strain in the film by 35%. r 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Indium phosphide, gallium arsenide phosphide, and aluminum indium phosphide have been deposited by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy using tertiarybutylphosphine and tertiarybutylarsine. The effects of growth temperature and V/III ratio on the amount of silicon, sulfur, carbon, and oxygen in InP have been determined. Minimum incorporation was observed at 565 1C and a V/III ratio of 32. In this c...

We have characterized the ~234! and ~432! reconstructions of GaAs and InAs ~001! that are present in a metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy ~MOVPE! reactor. Scanning tunneling micrographs show that these surfaces are terminated with arsenic and gallium ~or indium! dimers. The ~234! dimer row exhibits a mottled appearance, which is ascribed to the adsorption of alkyl groups on some of the sites. On ...
