Abstract

One micron thick AlAs/GaAs structures have been deposited by molecular beam epitaxy onto high resistivity silicon substrates. Subsequent to deposition, it is shown that Excimer laser annealing up to 120mJ/cm2 at 248nm improves the GaAs mobility to approximately 2000cm2 /v-s. Dislocation density, however, did not decrease up to 180mJ/cm2 showing that improvement in transport properties may not be accompanied by an associated decrease in dislocation density at the GaAs/Si interface.
