Analysis and Growth of GaAs on Si

GaAs on Si결정(結晶)의 성장(成長)과 그 특성해석(特性解析)

A single-crystalline epitaxial film of GaAs has been grown on Si using an ionized cluster beam technique. The native oxide layer on the silicon substrate was removed at $550^{\circ}C$ by use of an accelerated arsonic ion beam, instead of a high-temperature desorption. During the growth the substrate temperature was maintained at $550^{\circ}C$. Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction data suggest that the eats layer is an epitaxially grown single-crystalline layer.
