摘要
The dependence of epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of GaAs on Si on the growth temperature of liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) has been studied. It is shown that the ratio of the ELO width to the thickness (ELO ratio) depends strongly on LPE growth temperature. When the growth temperature is chosen as high as 620 degrees C, the ELO ratio equals 5.8. However, when the growth temperature is decreased to 500 degrees C, the ELO ratio is increased to as large as 14. Molten KOH etching showed that only a few pits are present on the ELO layers. It is concluded that by employing low growth temperature, GaAs epitaxial layers with large ELO ratio and with only a few dislocations can be obtained.
