Liquid-phase epitaxial growth of thin GaAs layers from supercooled solutions

Abstract
A liquid‐phase epitaxial technique using supercooled solutions free from precipitates has been developed. Excellent surface morphology and a reproducible thickness control of GaAs layers within 7% have been obtained for layer thicknesses at around 0.6 μ. This technique is readily applicable to GaAs field‐effect transistors (FET’s) and other devices.
