Abstract

The result of GaAs growth on Si using a thin Ge buffer layer (about 0.5μm thick) is presented in this paper. A two-step method with a high temperature anneal between two steps is used to grow the Ge buffer layer. Single phase GaAs is grown on Ge by controlling the growth temperature, substrate miscut and the prelayers. No APD defect is observed by the XTEM and the threading dislocation density of GaAs grown using this method is about 5˜10×107cm-2. The PL intensity of GaAs is 10× less on Si substrate than on GaAs substrates.
