ABSTRACTGaAs epitaxial layers were successfully grown on Si/Sapphire substrates using Molecular Beam Epitaxy(MBE). Residual compressive strain was found in GaAs films on Si/Sapphire. By Photoluminescence, the magnitude of residual strain in GaAs on Si/Sapphire was estimated to be 5×10-4 which is about one order smaller than that of GaAs on Si.As an effort to achieve further reduction in the residual strain, Indium- doped GaAs films were used as buffer layers in order to compensate compressive thermal strain by tensile misfit strain in the GaAs layer. Using this method, strain- free GaAs layers could be grown with thickness up to 0.4 μm on Si/Sapphire.

ABSTRACTAmmonia as nitrogen precursor has been used to grow III-V nitrides by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on c-plane sapphire substrates. The efficiency of NH3 has been evaluated allowing the determination of the actual V/III flux ratio used during the GaN growth. The effects of the V/III ratio variation on the GaN layer properties have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL), Hall measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). It is found that a high V/III ratio leads to the best material quality. Optimized GaN thick buffer layers have been used to grow GaN/AlGaN quantum well (QW) heterostructures. Their PL spectra exhibit well resolved emission peaks for QW thicknesses varying from 3 to 15 monolayers. From the variation of the QW energies as a function of well width, a piezoelectric field of 450 kV/cm is deduced.
