GaP crystals are grown on Si substrates by MOCVD. Double crystal X-ray diffraction indicates that the crystal quality of GaP layers greatly improves when AsH3 is supplied before growth. The FWHM of (400) diffraction peak of the GaP layer decreases as the thickness increases and the best FWHM of 112.5 arcs is obtained at a thickness of 5 μm. The GaP/Si interface is characterized using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) to demonstrate the effect of AsH3.
