Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gallium antimonide (GaSb) crystal epitaxial growth, in particular to a method for epitaxially growing GaSb on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate by using a double buffer layer growth process. Background technique
[0002] GaSb-based semiconductor materials (InAs, GaSb, AlSb and their ternary compounds with a lattice constant of 6.1 Ȧ), both in terms of optical and electrical properties, make up for the shortcomings of traditional semiconductor materials, and are ideal for preparing high-speed, low-power New materials of choice for high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) or mid-to-far infrared detectors and lasers (InAs / GaSb, superlattice infrared detectors and lasers).
[0003] Although GaSb single wafers have been commercialized, GaSb epitaxial layers are usually prepared on GaAs substrates due to the disadvantages of high cost and lack of semi-insulating substrates. In the heteroepitaxy process, a ...
