Abstract

It is shown that antiphase boundary (APB) is annihilated during the growth, by monitoring the surface with reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The RHEED observation indicates that double domain GaAs changes to single domain within a thickness of 100 nm, while the transition region is estimated to exist within 200 nm from GaAs-Si interface by scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of etch pits on vicinally polished surface. The self-annihilation mechanism of APB is discussed from these results.
