Abstract: The monolithic integration of III-V semiconductors with silicon (Si) is a critical step toward advancing optoelectronic and photonic devices. In this work, we present GaAs nanoheteroepitaxy (NHE) on Si nanotips using gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GS-MBE). We discuss the selective growth of fully relaxed GaAs nanoislands on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible Si(001) nanotip wafers. Nanotip wafers were fabricated using a state-of-the-art 0.13 μm SiGe Bipolar [...]
