Abstract

We report the first results of direct growth of GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy on nominally (100) oriented silicon with buried implanted oxides. Rutherford backscattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques have been used to characterize these layers. The formation of hillocks and a uniform layer of GaAs in the intervening regions between hillocks have been observed. Microtwins, dislocations and antiphase domain boundaries are the predominant defects observed in these layers.
