Abstract

Excimer laser annealing at 248 nm has resulted in the recrystallization of a-GaAs on (100) silicon. An AlAs encapsulation layer was found to be necessary to prevent the loss of arsenic during laser annealing. An energy density of 105 mJ/cm2 was the critical energy density which gave optimum results. Field effect transistors were fabricated on the regrown (100) GaAs utilizing ion implantation for the n-type channel, and resulted in a transconductance of 70–80 mS/mm.
