Direct Heteroepitaxy of Orientation-Patterned GaP on GaAs by Hydride Vapour Phase Epitaxy for Quasi-Phase-Matching Applications

Heteroepitaxial growth of orientation-patterned GaP on patterned GaAs template was developed by using hydride vapor phase epitaxy for quasi-phase-matching applications. We present the growth with well-defined periodic boundaries between (001) and (00 1) GaP domains. The GaP layer on planar GaAs was characterized by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and the conductivity of GaP (0.16 S cm
^-1
) was obtained in terahertz range.
