Abstract

Processes limiting the growth of GaAs grown by an alternate gas supply are investigated by kinematical analysis. Based on these results, it is shown that the atomic layer epitaxial (ALE) window is expanded on the high temperature by the suppression of the decomposition of column III gas sources using a nitrogen carrier gas and on the low temperature side by the enhancement of their chemisorption to substrate surface atoms by a new method using a cracking tube. The latter enables us to achieve ALE of AlAs for the first time. Moreover, the carbon concentration is reduced by one order of magnitude by such a reaction control.
