In this work, we successfully demonstrated InGaAs/InAs/InGaAs composite channel metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (mHEMTs) on a GaAs substrate. The fabricated mHEMTs with a 100 nm gate length exhibited excellent DC and logic characteristics such as = -0.13 V, = 949 mS/mm, subthreshold swing (SS) = 84 mV/dec, drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) = 89 mV/V, and I/I ratio = 9.8 × 10 at a drain-source voltage () = 0.5 V. In addition, the device exhibited excellent high-frequency characteristics, such as = 261/304 GHz for the measured result and well-matched modeled = 258/309 GHz at = 0.5 V, which is less power consumption compared to other material systems. These high-frequency characteristics are a well-balanced demonstration of and in the mHEMT structure on a GaAs substrate.

The processes of electrochemical deposition of Ni on vertically aligned GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) using Au as a growth catalyst on Si(111) substrates were studied. Based on the results of electrochemical deposition, it was concluded that during the MBE synthesis of NWs the self-induced formation of conductive channels can occur inside NWs, thereby forming quasi core-shell nanowires. Depending on the length of the channel compare to the NW heights and the parameters of electrochemical deposition, the different hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructures, such as Ni nanoparticles on GaAs NW side walls, Ni clusters on top ends of GaAs NWs, core-shell Ni/GaAs NWs, were obtained.

InAs semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the near-infrared are promising platforms for on-demand single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces. However, the realization of quantum-photonic nanodevices emitting in the telecom windows with similar performance remains an open challenge. In particular, nanophotonic devices incorporating quantum light emitting diodes in the telecom C-band based on GaAs substrates are still lacking due to the relaxation of the lattice constant along the InGaAs graded layer which makes the implementation of electrically contacted devices challenging.

The direct epitaxial growth of high-quality III-V semiconductors on Si is a challenging materials science problem with a number of applications in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and on-chip lasers. We report the reduction of dislocation density in GaAs solar cells grown directly on nanopatterned V-groove Si substrates by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. Starting from a template of GaP on V-groove Si, we achieved a low threading dislocation density (TDD) of 3 × 10 cm in the GaAs by performing thermal cycle annealing of the GaAs followed by growth of InGaAs dislocation filter layers.

Lead Catalyzed GaAs Nanowires Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy.

This study investigates the growth of gallium arsenide nanowires, using lead as a catalyst. Typically, nanowires are grown through the vapor-solid-liquid mechanism, where a key factor is the reduction in the nucleation barrier beneath the catalyst droplet. Arsenic exhibits limited solubility in conventional catalysts; however, this research explores an alternative scenario in which lead serves as a solvent for arsenic, while gallium and lead are immiscible liquids.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research highlights that both the nucleation and growth stages of the ZnS films are significantly affected by the type of Zn precursor used, and emphasizes the importance of early film formation stages on overall film quality.
  • * Techniques like X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal that increased surface oxidation during the early stages can prevent solution desorption, and an analysis of crack formation provides insights into the growth process of the films based on different precursors.
