Abstract

Atomic layer epitaxy(ALE) of III-V compound semiconductors is reviewed. This technology has grown in recent years because of potential applications to nanometer-order structures as well as to monolayer/cycle growth with high-uniformity in growth thickness, and to excellent selective-area growth. Recent developments in chloride ALE of various compounds and heterostructures are described. Potentials of ALE for producing such fine structures are shown.
