We propose anti-phase direct bonding and report on the first demonstration of its application to device fabrication. Cross-sectional observation by high-resolution transmission electron microscope showed that InP and GaAs wafers bonded at the atomic level and the misfit dislocations were localized at the bonding interface. Then InP-based 1.55 μm wavelength lasers were fabricated on GaAs. The performance of the lasers was approximately equal to that of the lasers formed by in-phase direct bonding. Moreover, stable operation was possible for more than 1000 h at 50 °C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
