Abstract

In this paper I will compare the growth of GaAs by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Metalorganic Chemical Vapour Deposition (MOCVD) and Chemical Beam Epitaxy (CBE). In making the comparison I will consider the effects of substrate temperature and V/III ratio on the growth rate and will then discuss the problem of composition control for alloys with mixed group III elements. In each case I will discuss the mobile surface species and what is known concerning the preferred growth directions as a function of growth conditions. Finally I will discuss the question of selected area growth

In making the above comparisons I hope to highlight the key factors needed to assess the relative quality of the interfaces prepared by each technique
