Heteroepitaxial Growth of III-V Semiconductors on 2D Materials

Quasi van der Waals epitaxy (QvdWE) of III-V semiconductors on two-dimensional layered material, such as graphene, is discussed. Layered materials are used as a lattice mismatch/thermal expansion coefficient mismatch-relieving layer to integrate III-V semiconductors on any arbitrary substrates. In t...

Description
Summary:Quasi van der Waals epitaxy (QvdWE) of III-V semiconductors on two-dimensional layered material, such as graphene, is discussed. Layered materials are used as a lattice mismatch/thermal expansion coefficient mismatch-relieving layer to integrate III-V semiconductors on any arbitrary substrates. In this chapter, the epitaxial growth of both III-V nanowires and thin films on two-dimensional layered materials is presented. Also, the growth challenges of thin film on two-dimensional materials using QvdWE are discussed through density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, optoelectronic devices of III-V semiconductors integrated on two-dimensional layered material based on QvdWE are overviewed to prove the future potential and importance of such type of epitaxy.
