ABSTRACTHigh quality GaAs and InP have been grown on silicon substrates, using low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique. The growth temperature is 550°C and the growth rate 100 A/min.Photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction and electrochemical profiling verified the high quality of these layers. The use of superlattices as buffer layers, (GaAs/GaInP) in the case of GaAs/Si and (GaInAsP/InP) in the case of InP/Si, decreased the amount of misfit dislocations in the epitaxial layer. Carrier concentrations as low as 5.1015 cm−3 have been measured by electrochemical profiling.

Group-IV alloy GeSn holds great promise for the high-performance optoelectronic devices that can be monolithically integrated on Si for near- and mid-infrared applications. Growth of GeSn using chemical vapor deposition technique with various Sn and Ge precursors has been investigated worldwide. To achieve relatively high Sn incorporation, the use of higher pressure and/or higher order Ge hydrides precursors were reported. In this work, we successfully demonstrated the growth of high-quality GeSn with Sn composition of 16.7% at low pressure of 12 Torr. The alloy was grown using the commercially available GeH4 and SnCl4 precursors via a chemical vapor deposition reactor. Material and optical characterizations were performed to confirm the Sn incorporation and to study the optical properties. The demonstrated growth results reveal a low-pressure growth window to achieve high-quality and high Sn alloys for future device applications.

ABSTRACTLow pressure (200 Torr) metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of InSb has been examined through variation of the Column III (TMIn) and Column V (TMSb or TESb) precursor partial pressures. The use of lower growth pressure significantly enhanced the range of allowable Column III and Column V partial pressures in which specular morphology InSb could be obtained without the formation of In droplets or Sb crystals. In addition, a 70% improvement in the average hole mobility was obtained, compared to InSb grown in the same reactor at atmospheric pressure. SIMS analysis revealed that Si at the substrate/epitaxial layer interface is an important impurity that may contribute to degradation of the mobility. Substitution of TESb for TMSb did not result in any improvement in the purity of the InSb.

The growth of continuous silicon monocrystalline thin films on 3C-SiC epilayers deposited on silicon substrates is presented in this study. Such heterostructures can be beneficial for the fabrication of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems or electronic applications. The elaboration of these heterostructures was carried out using Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition. X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transformed Infra-Red spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy have been used to investigate the structural properties of Si epilayers and their dependence on growth conditions. Monocrystalline Si (110) films are obtained on 3CSiC(100)/Si (100) substrates, only when using growth temperatures close to 850°C. The strong influence of the underlying 3C-SiC film on the final structural properties of Si epilayer is evidenced.
