Abstract

The formation and growth of islands on GaAs substrates has been observed during high temperature (550°C) heat treatment of GaAs substrates in the presence of H2Se. We have used SEM, TEM and XPS to characterize these islands and we have proposed a mechanism for island formation based on coarsening of Ga on the substrate surface followed by reaction with H2Se to form Ga2Se3.
