Growth of high-quality GaAs using trimethylgallium and diethylarsine

Abstract
In this letter we report the growth of high-quality gallium arsenide using trimethylgallium and diethylarsine. The epitaxial layers had excellent morphology, an n-type background free-carrier concentration as low as 3×1014 cm−3 and a liquid nitrogen temperature mobility as high as 64 600 cm2/V s. The low-temperature (2 K) photoluminescence spectrum has well-resolved excitonic peaks, confirming the high quality of the material.
