Abstract

Effects of growth temperature on crystallinity and surface morphology of MOCVD-grown GaAs-on-Si were studied. The FWHM of the (400) x-ray peak in the rocking curve of GaAs-on-Si reduces from 340 to 230 arcs with increasing growth temperature from 650 to 700°C, but further increase of growth temperature does not significantly decrease the FWHM. The surface morphology of GaAs-on-Si grown at higher temperature is scaly and rough. Lower growth temperature is desirable to obtain GaAs-on-Si with good surface morphology. In order to eliminate the trade-off between crystallinity and surface morphology, the three-step growth process is proposed.
