Abstract

Atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) of GaAs by pulsed laser metal organic vapor phase epitaxy is reported. Suspension of Ga deposition at 100% coverage is an essential part of the growth mechanism for ideal ALE. This is achieved by a photo-catalytic decomposition of adsorbed trimethylgallium (TMG). Selective enhancement of the decomposition rate for adsorbed TMG on As, with no enhancement for that on Ga is the main reason for suspension of Ga deposition at 100% coverage. A decomposition rate for TMG on As which is about 100 times faster than that on Ga is estimated from a comparison between theory and experiment.
