THE GROWTH OF DEVICE QUALITY, LARGE AREA GAAS EPITAXIAL LAYERS ON SILICON SUBSTRATES IS RECOGNIZED AS AN IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT. THE QUALITY OF HETEROEPITAXIAL LAYERS OF GAAS ON SILICON ARE LIMITED BY GAAS-SI LATTICE MISMATCH AND THERMAL COEFFICIENT MISMATCH. THE DEFECT DENSITY OF THE GAAS EPILAYER IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE INTERFACE AREA. OUR LABORATORIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED A VIABLE ...
