  • Publication number: 20130277713
    Abstract: An As(arsenic)/Sb(antimony) compound semiconductor is grown on a Si(silicon) or Ge (germanium) substrate. With the present invention, island-like growth on the Si or Ge substrate owing to lattice constant mismatch is prevented. Bad electrical isolation owing to diffusion of Ge is also prohibited. The present invention could obtain a high quality metamorphic buffer which is suitable for integrating a Si or Ge substrate with an electronic or optoelectronic device of a III/V group semiconductor.
