Abstract

Numerous GaAs epitaxial microcrystals having nearly equal size were fabricated on a S-terminated GaAs(001) surface by a sequential supply of Ga and As molecular beams. The GaAs(001) surface was terminated by sulfur atom in the MBE chamber. The growth of GaAs epitaxial microcrystals is caused by a Vapour-Liquid-Solid(VLS) mechanism. GaAs epitaxial microcrystals were also fabricated on a S-terminated GaAlAs(001) surface by the same procedure.
