Abstract

In this paper, a novel system of electrical current induced liquid phase epitaxial apparatus is presented. Electroepitaxial growths of Ga,-xAlxAs on thin GaAs substrate were carried out at constant temperature with a dc current as the sole driving force. Constant composition Ga1−xAlxAs electroepilayers with mirror-smooth surfaces were obtained. The average rate of epitaxial growth in the system is linearly proportional to the current level passed through the substrate-melt interface. In particular, a new technique of obtaining Ga1−xAlxAs:Si p-n junctions at constant temperatures is presented for the first time: the “step-current” technique.
