ABSTRACTX-ray diffraction has been used to study the mask-induced strain in GaAs layers grown by the liquid phase epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) on (100) GaAs substrates. SiO2 mask has been investigated to produce seeding areas for the ELO growth. It has been found that SiO2 attracts the ELO layers, which leads to their pronounced bending towards the oxide film and to the appearance of vertical strain in laterally grown parts of ELO. When SiO2 is removed by selective etching this strain disappears. We show evidence that the bending of ELO layers is reduced when the density of substrate dislocations is increased. This is explained as being due to enhancement of the initial vertical growth rate by dislocations supplying steps on the upper surface of ELO.

GaN epitaxial layers with embedded air voids grown on patterned SiO2AlN/sapphire templates were proposed. Using interruption-free epitaxial lateral overgrowth technology, we realized uninterrupted growth and controlled the shape of embedded air voids. These layers showed improved crystal quality using X-ray diffraction and measurement of etching pits density. Compared with conventional undoped-GaN film, the full width at half-maximum of the GaN (0 0 2) and (1 0 2) peaks decreased from 485 arcsec to 376 arcsec and from 600 arcsec to 322 arcsec, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy results showed that the coalesced GaN growth led to bending threading dislocation. We also proposed a growth model based on results of scanning electron microscopy.

ABSTRACTConformal growth is a confined epitaxial lateral overgrowth technique capable of yielding low dislocation density GaAs films on Si. This technique makes extensive use of selective epitaxy and crystal growth is confined by a dielectric cap as well as by the self-passivated Si surface itself.In this paper, we have performed a detailed characterisation of the state of stress of the GaAs films in various configurations (after conformal growth and removal of the seed regions, and after the regrowth of an MBE layer) by photoluminescence measurements at 5K and X-ray diffraction experiments. Although the as-grown conformal films are found in the same state of stress than reference MOCVD GaAs epilayers on Si, we report a significant decrease of this stress after MBE regrowth on conformal films.

AbstractHigh Tc superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 films have been prepared by the Liquid Phase Epitaxial (LPE) technique. The x‐ray diffraction patterns displayed a high degree of (00l) preferred orientations with c‐axes perpendicular to the film surfaces. The in‐situ grown YBa2Cu3O7 films showed zero‐resistivity at 76*K. Examination of the film cross sections by SEM revealed a growth mechanism.
