Abstract

We have successfully grown undoped GaAs of very high resistivity on Si by MOCVD. The back and side edges of the Si substrate were coated with a Si3N4/SiO2 stacked layer to suppress Si incorporation Into GaAs by the gas phase transport mechanism during MOCVD growth. A 3- μm-thick GaAs layer was grown on this Si substrate at 750 °C in an atmospheric MOCVD reactor using the two-step growth technique. The electron concentration measured by a Polaron C-V profiler is 3xl0l4 cm−3, as low as that of GaAs grown on GaAs substrate, up to the depth of 1.5 μm from the surface.
