We report a new microchannel epitaxy (MCE) technique for forming III–V semiconductor on insulator (III–V-OI) structures on a Si substrate with a thermally oxidized SiO2 mask for high performance n-type metal–insulator–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MISFETs). To reduce dislocations and antiphase domains (APDs), we propose a novel fabrication method of forming III–V-OI structures, where a two-step growth method is combined with MCE. The growth temperature of the low-temperature buffer layers and the growth rate in the two-step growth are optimized to meet the competing requirements for the reduction in APDs and selective growth. We demonstrate a fabrication of high-quality GaAs-OI structures using our proposed growth method under an optimized growth condition.
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.
