摘要
采用金属有机化学气相沉积方法在无掩模的直径为400nm的圆柱Si(100)图形衬底上外延生长了GaAs薄膜。图形衬底采用纳米压印技术及反应离子刻蚀技术制作而成。运用两步法生长工艺在此图形衬底上制备了厚度为1.8μm的GaAs外延层。GaAs的晶体质量通过腐蚀坑密度和透射电镜表征。图形衬底上的 GaAs外延层表面腐蚀坑密度约1×107cm-2, 比平面衬底上降低了两个数量级。透射电镜观测显示大部分产生于GaAs/Si异质界面的穿透位错被阻挡在圆柱顶部附近。
Abstract
GaAs films were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on 400nm maskless roundpillar patterned Si (100) substrate. The patterned substrate was fabricated by combining nanoimprint lithography with reactive iron etching. 1.8μmthick GaAs epilayer was obtained on the patterned substrate using twostep method. The quality of GaAs was evaluated using etching pit density and transmission electron microscopy. The etching pit density of GaAs grown on patterned Si substrate at ~1×107cm-2 was two orders of magnitude lower compared with that grown on planar Si substrate. TEM observations reveal that most of the threading dislocations originated from the GaAs/Si interface were trapped near the top of the roundpillars.
