For a quantitative description of the epitaxial growth rate of gallium arsenide, two models are proposed including two rate controlling steps, namely the diffusion of components in the gas phase and the surface reaction. In the models considered, the surface reaction involves a reaction triple - or quadruple centre. In both models three mechanisms are considered which differ one from the other by different adsorption - and impact interaction of reacting particles. In every of the six cases, the pertinent rate equations were derived, and the models have been confronted with the experimentally found dependences of the growth rate on partial pressures of components in the feed. The results are discussed with regard to the plausibility of individual mechanisms and of both models, and also with respect to their applicability and the direction of further investigations.

Summary:Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed that examine the microscopic mechanisms of rearrangements of atoms on the Si{ 1001 surface due to deposition of gas phase atoms. For thermal energy deposition we find that the gas atoms initially attach to dangling bonds of the surface dimer atoms. The dimer ’unreconstruction’ is due to a diffusion event on the surface, thus is temperature activated. We also find that dimers may open in regions of the surface where there are several atoms not at lattice sites, thus a low temperature amorphous structure. For 5-10 eV deposition there are direct mechanisms of dimer opening that occur on the 50-100 fs timescale. For energies greater than 15-20 eV there is implantation of the silicon atoms which leads to subsurface damage.

In this article, using Kinetic Monte simulations on super-lattices, we study the evolution of extended defects during epitaxial growth. Specifically we show that, in the case of misoriented, close-packed substrates, a single-layer stacking fault can either extend throughout the entire epilayer (i.e. extended from the substrate up to the surface) or close in a dislocation loop depending on the deposition conditions and the crystallographic structure of the exposed surface containing the defect. We explain this behaviour in terms of a surface kinetic competition between the defect and the surrounding, perfect crystal: if the growth rate of the defect is higher compared to the growth rate of the surrounding crystal the defect will expand, otherwise it will close. This physical mechanism allows us to explain several experimental results of homo- and heteroepitaxy.

In this paper we study the gas-phase hydrogen abstraction reaction between fluorine atoms and silane in a three-step process: potential energy surface, kinetics and dynamics. Firstly, we developed for the...
