Layered Structures Composed of Si, Ge, GaAs, and Fluorides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Recent progress in the heteroepitaxial growth of layered structures of Si, Ge, GaAs, and alkaline earth fluorides is reviewed. Effectiveness of the predeposition technique, in which a thin Si layer is deposited on the CaF2 surface at room temperature prior to the growth of a thick Si film at 800 °C, is shown for the growth of Si films on CaF2/Si structures. In case of the overgrowth of Ge and GaAs films on (111) substrates, modification of the fluoride surface by electron beam exposure is effective to increase the wet-tability between fluoride and semiconductor films and to improve the crystal -1 inity and surface morphology of the films. Finally, antiphase disorder in the GaAs(100) films grown on fluorides is experimentally studied and the generation mechanisms are discussed.
