Abstract

Selective epitaxial growth of III-V compounds based on GaAs has been achieved using Ar+ ion laser assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) on GaAs substrates. The growth rate, at carefully selected growth conditions, can be controlled to a few Å/s at bias temperatures as low as 250°C by conventional LCVD multi-scan technique. Typical Gaussian thickness profiles are achieved by this growth technique. On the other hand, flat top thickness profiles are achieved with direct writing of GaAs mono-layers by laser assisted atomic layer epitaxy (LALE). X-ray topography is demonstrated as a powerful tool for characterizing the grown films and photoluminescence shows that the quality of the grown films are comparable with those grown by conventional MOCVD or ALE.
