ABSTRACTWe discuss room temperature CW operation of AlGaAs/GaAs SQW lasers and GaAs MESFETs with good pinch-off characteristic on SiO2 -back coated Si. The all-MOCVD-grown,SQW laser on Si with thermal-cycle annealing, which has the EPD of 1.5 × 107 cm−2, has the threshold current as low as 55 mA (1.41 kA/cm2) under CW operation at room temperature. The pinch-off and the sidegating effect characteristics of GaAs MESFETs on Si have been improved by using SiO2-back coating of Si and higher growth temperature. The maximum transconductance of 160 mS/mm has been obtained for the MESFET with a 2.5 × 15 µm gate. The main origin of sidegating effect associates with the channel layer-undoped GaAs layer beneath it interface. The SiO2 -back coating is found effective to obtain a lower background electron concentration in undoped GaAs layer and to control doping of the active layer in GaAs/Si.

ABSTRACTThe heterointerfaces of single quantum wells (SQWs) and the characteristics of SQW lasers on Si substrates grown with Al0.5 Ga0 5As/Al0.55Ga0.45P intermediate layers (AlGaAs/AlGaP ILs) entirely by MOCVD are reported. The surface morphology and the heterointerfaces of SQWs grown on Si substrates with the AlGaAs/AlGaP ILs are smoother than those of the two-step-grown sample. The two-dimensional growth of the AlGaAs/AlGaP ILs on a Si substrate contributes to obtain the smooth heterointerface. The excellent lasing characteristics are obtained by the AlGaAs/AlGaP ILs, which are caused by the smooth heterointerfaces. The lasers grown with the AlGaAs/AlGaP ILs show the averaged threshold current density of 1.83 kA/cm2 and the averaged differential quantum efficiency of 51.9 % under cw condition at room temperature.

When CoSi2 is grown onto a Si(111) surface it can form in two distinct orientations. A-type CoSi2 has the same orientation as the Si substrate and B-type is rotated by 180° degrees about the [111] surface normal.One method of producing epitaxial CoSi2 is to deposit Co at room temperature and anneal to 650°C.If greater than 10Å of Co is deposited then both A and B-type CoSi2 form via a number of intermediate silicides .The literature suggests that the co-existence of A and B-type CoSi2 is in some way linked to these intermediate silicides analogous to the NiSi2/Si(111) system. The phase which forms prior to complete CoSi2 formation is CoSi. This paper is a crystallographic analysis of the CoSi2/Si(l11) bicrystal using a theoretical method developed by Pond. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to verify the theoretical predictions and to characterise the defect structure at the interface.

ABSTRACTA combination of XRD and TEM techniques have been used to characterize the response of room temperature magnetron sputtered Fe-Pd thin films on Si-susbtrates to post-deposition order-annealing at temperatures between 400-500°C. Deposition produced the disordered Fe-Pd phase with (111)-twinned grains approximately 18nm in size. Ordering occurred for annealing at 450°C and 500°C after 1.8ks, accompanied by grain growth (40-70nm). The ordered FePd grains contained (111)-twins rather than {101}-twins typical of bulk ordered FePd. The metallic overlayers and underlayers selected here produced detrimental dissolution (Pt into Fe-Pd phases) and precipitation reactions between Pd and the Si substrate.
