Crystal Phase Control during Epitaxial Hybridization of III-V Semiconductors with Silicon


Abstract: "The formation and propagation of anti-phase boundaries (APBs) in the epitaxial growth of III-V semiconductors on Silicon is still the subject of great debate, despite the impressive number of studies focusing on this topic in the last past decades. The control of the layer phase is of major importance for the future realization of photonic integrated circuits that include efficien... » read more
