Abstract
The structural and optical properties of GaAs on (001) Si substrates were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL). It was found that the success of the two-step growth technique is controlled by the quality (morphology and defect density) of the low-temperature grown AlGaAs nucleation layer. GaAs epilayers grown on low V/III ratio AlGaAs nucleation layers exhibit improved surface morphologies and structural properties. These results were confirmed by optical measurements where it was shown that the best PL response was obtained from GaAs epilayers in which the initial AlGaAs nucleation layers were deposited at a low V/III ratio.
