Abstract

GaAs epitaxial layers grown on Si substrates up to 4 inches in diameter by OMCVD are characterized with respect to the materials parameters important for their application for device and circuit manufacturing. The layers are characterized using commercial flatness and surface quality measurement instrumentation, x-ray diffraction, Schottky diode characteristics, and photoluminescence. The 4-inch diameter GaAs epilayers are a singleoriented phase and are of comparable quality to GaAs epilayers grown on smaller diameter Si substrates.
