GaAs epitaxy on Si substrates: modern status of research and engineering

,
Rzhanov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, prosp. Akad. Lavrenteva 13, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russian Federation

While silicon and gallium arsenide are dominant materials in modern micro- and nanoelectronics, devices fabricated from them still use Si and GaAs substrates only separately. Integrating these materials on the (highest efficiency) substrate of Si has been the subject of much research effort for more than twenty years. This review systematizes and generalizes the current understanding of the fundamental physical mechanisms governing the epitaxial growth of GaAs and its related III-V compounds on Si substrates. Basic techniques available for improving the quality of such heterostructures are described, and recent advances in fabricating device-quality AIIIBV/Si heterostructures and devices on their bases are also presented.
