Abstract

This paper presents results of the low—temperature epitaxial growth of GaAs on Si substrates with orientation 1°—4° off (100) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The epitaxial growth ·is carried out on Si wafers subjected to HF solution treatment by “spin-etch” technique before the wafer is transferred to the entry chamber of MBE system. Methods used for reducing defect density in the epitaxial layers are proposed. The characterization techniques include cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM), plan-view transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (S EM), and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXRD). Epitaxial films with a full width at half—maximum (FWHM) of about 310 arcsec measured by DCXRD are obtained without annealing.-
