Abstract
Recent results of GaAs on Si epitaxy and device fabrication are reviewed. Emphasis is on the growth initiation procedures, defect reduction processes, and integrated circuit fabrication. The effects of Si substrate orientation and substrate temperature on the GaAs layer properties are detailed. Stress related issues are also discussed.
