Molecular Beam Epitaxy of 2-6 Compound Waveguides

Abstract

Monocrystalline films of ZnSe and ZnTe have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(110) and (100) at 300 to 350C. ZnTe(100) films are as smooth as the chemically-polished substrate (smooth to tens of Angstroms), while the others are considerably rougher. Films grown on BaF2(100) are polycrystalline. ZnTe/Zn(SeTe)/GaAs(100) is proposed for an optical waveguide system.
