Abstract

Investigation has continued into the use of SixGe1−x multilayer structures (MLS) as a buffer layer between a Si substrate and a GaAs epitaxial layer in order to accommodate the 4.1% lattice mismatch. SixGe1−x 4-layer and 5-layer structures terminating in pure Ge have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy. Subsequent GaAs heteroepitaxy has allowed evaluation of these various GaAs/SixGe1−xMLS/Si (100) structures. Antiphase domain boundaries have been eliminated using vicinal Si (100) substrates tilted 6° off-axis toward [011], and the etch pit density in GaAs grown on a 5-layer SixGe1−x MLS on vicinal Si (lOO) was measured to be 106 cm−2.
