Abstract

Chemical vapor deposition experiments using (Me3Si)3As with either GaCl3 or Me3Ga at ambient pressure have produced films of GaAs on Si and semi-conducting GaAs substrates. The films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy, and each have small amounts of C and O impurities. No desired films were deposited from (C6F5)3GaAs(SiMe3)3 at 500°C and low pressures.
