Growth of GaAs by Cold-Wall Metalorganic-Chloride Vapor Phase Epitaxy

Abstract
This report describes the first successful growth of GaAs by metalorganic-chloride vapor phase epitaxy in a cold-wall-type reactor. Triethylgallium was adopted as the group III source material, and AsCl3 instead of fatally toxic AsH3 was used as the arsenic source. Growth rates of about 10 µm/h with mirror like surfaces were obtained at the growth temperature of 650°C. The growth rate study on this system showed that mass transport was the rate-determining step in the overall process.
