Issues with MBE Ge on III-V • High temp (400C) required for good Epi quality • As background contaminates Ge layer • Solved by two chamber systems (dedicate Ge growth w/o As) • Must bake the As from the Mo platen • Must pump the As from the III-V before Ge shutter open • Must avoid As to contaminate Ge source • Grow GaAs to Ga rich after initial (In)GaAs buffer growth • Ga diffusion (substitutional) into Ge • Need to below 300C • low temp Epi yields poor Ge quality • In diffusion to Ge is not well known.
