Abstract

Epitaxial layers of the intermetallic β-CoGa cubic phase were grown at low temperature on (100)GaAs by metal-organic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) using GaEt3 and CpCo(CO)2 as vapor sources. The film composition and the lattice mismatch on (100)GaAs may be adjusted by controlling the molecular beam pressure ratio. The growth on a Co-saturated GaAs surface leads to the formation of bi-phased CoGa-CoAs films whereas epitaxial single-phased β-CoGa layers are grown on a Ga-terminated GaAs surface with the simple cube on cube orientation [100](001 )CoGa//[100](001)GaAs. Annealing experiments under inert atmosphere have shown that MOMBE CoGa films are thermally stable on GaAs until ca. 823 K. Ohmic and Schottky CoGa/GaAs contacts have been made depending on the doping of the substrate by this process.
