Abstract

We studied the structural, electrical, and mechanical properties of an InAs thin film grown on GaAs (111)A substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. In contrast to conventionally used (001) surfaces, where Stranski-Krastanov growth dominates the highly mismatched heteroepitaxy, layer-by-layer growth of InAs can be established. One of the largest advantages of this unique heteroepitaxial system is that it provides a two-dimensional electron gas system in the near-surface region without the problem of electron depletion. We review the fundamental properties and applications of this unique heteroepitaxial system.
