Oriented Growth of Semiconductors. III. Growth of Gallium Arsenide on Germanium

Abstract
Gallium arsenide has been grown on germanium using arsenic trichloride and gallium. With optimum growth conditions the epitaxial layers have properties close to those of good‐quality bulk crystals. Comparison between epitaxial and bulk crystals is made in terms of the widths of the x‐ray rocking curves and of the properties of p‐n junctions formed within the epitaxial layer.
