We present results of a study using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) to synthesize thin films of cubic GazSe3 on both nearly lattice matched GaP and mismatched GaAs substrates. We find that trimethylgallium (TMGa) pre-reacts with the hydride HzSe in the gas phase to yield films which are only partially epitaxial and that the combination of TMGa with ditertiarybutylselenide produces films of the best crystal quality under steady state flow conditions. We also show that GaAs is an unsuitable substrate for MOVPE growth of gallium selenide due to exchange reactions at the interface leading to poorly bonded films.
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.
