ABSTRACTEpitaxial GaAs layers have been grown on Ge-coated Si substrates. Deposition of epitaxial Ge was performed by electron beam evaporation onto a <100> Si substrate. GaAs was then deposited by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy. Films grown over large areas (∼1 cm2) and by selective epitaxy in stripe patterns (∼50 μm wide) have been evaluated by a number of techniques to determine structural and electrical properties. In addition, we report what we believe to be the first LEDs fabricated in GaAs/Ge/Si heterostructures.

ABSTRACTTransmission electron microscopy of GaAs grown on Si for metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors is presented in this paper. Two kinds of samples are compared: GaAs grown on a 15 Å Si epilayer grown on GaAs, and GaAs grown at low temperature (300°C) on Si substrates. It is shown that the GaAs epitaxial layer grown on thin Si layer has reverse polarity to the substrate (antiphase relation). Higher defect density is observed for GaAs grown on Si substrate. This higher defect density correlates with an increased device speed, but with reduced sensitivity.
