  Method of growing GaAs films on Si or GaAs substrates using ale - Patent 4876218
When a GaAs film is grown on a silicon substrate with a different chemical composition, the most critical problem is the lattice mismatch between gallium arsenide and silicon due to the differing lattice constants, causing a high dislocation density and surface defect density in the grown films.
When growing GaAs layers by a conventional MBE method (MBE=Molecular Beam Epitaxy) on Si substrates, GaAs nucleates as three-dimensional islands which are coherently strained, i.e., are free of misfit dislocations.
It has been observed that GaAs films grown by the method according to the invention have a low surface defect density and a high electron mobility, a film of 1.85.mu.m nearly possessing the properties of a GaAs bulk crystal.

 Title III
Defense demand accounted for the majority of SI GaAs demand prior to the Title III project but is now outpaced by commercial demand, driven by the requirements of cellular communications, wireless networks, and GPS receivers.
The GaAs operations of the three domestic firms in this market were struggling financially, and one or more of these firms were at risk to drop out of this market altogether.
GaAs wafer sales of the three Title III contractors grew by approximately 300 percent (measured in dollar value) during the project, despite a 40-percent reduction in the average price of GaAs wafers.

 GaAs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
GaAs is of particular interest for several reasons.
The electron mobility in GaAs is very high, about 8 times greater than that of silicon, and the lifetime of the photogenerated carriers is about 10 ns, compared to 10 ms for silicon.
GaAs has been extensively studied and the physics are fairly well understood, which makes GaAs attractive as a benchmark system for TRTS.

 GAAS and the small business auditor: ten years later. (general accepted auditing standards)
Majorities (72% in 1991 and 69% in 1981) felt that existing GAAS were not responsive to the needs of small business auditors and that only the concerns of large businesses were taken into account in the development of GAAS and related guidance (86% in 1991 and 71% in 1981).
Although there was a slight drop in the percentage of respondents favoring a separate set of GAAS and those believing that a separate set of GAAS would be operationally feasible, it is clear that most respondents were in favor of some type of change.
Concerns about a separate set of GAAS for small business audits--such as creating the impression of a lower-class audit, creating a second class of auditors, and pressure for lower audit fees--could be adequately addressed by educating small business clients and financial statement users.

 Industry Snapshot, 10/03/97: GaAs Valley
The manufacturing process starts with a pure crystal of GaAs that is typically grown from seed crystal, which is then sliced into ultra-thin "wafers" with a diamond saw.
In the early stages of GaAs development, operators couldn't count on getting wafers that were of uniform shape or size, which made forecasting for high-volume manufacturing extremely difficult.
Today the GaAs industy is undergoing a conversion from 4 to 6 inch wafers, which will boost yields, but still lags behind in comparison to their well-endowed brethren in the silicon wafer arena that use current wafer sizes of 8 inches and moving to 12 inches in the future.

 Stability of a Low-Temperature Grown GaAs Surface Layer Following Air Exposure Using Tunneling Microscopy
The stability of a GaAs layer structure consisting of a thin (10 nm) layer of low-temperature-grown GaAs on a heavily n-doped GaAs layer, both grown by molecular beam epitaxy, has been studied using a scanning tunneling microscope.
Tunneling spectroscopy shows both the GaAs band edges and a band of midgap states associated with the excess As in the surface layer.
C. Characterization of a (110) surface of the LTG:GaAs layer exposed by cleaving in UHV identified a band of midgap states associated with the excess arsenic.[1, 2, 3] For heavily doped n-type (n+) layers, this band of states was located above the valence band edge of the material.

 GaAs Detectors
In collaboration with E2V Technologies (formerly EEV / Marconi Applied Technologies), GaAs detectors have been fabricated using bulk grown and epitaxial material from a variety of sources.
Experiments have been conducted between +30 °C and -130 °C to identify dominant trap energy levels by measuring trap release time constants, and proton spectra have been used to measure the width of the depletion region and to confirm that it increases linearly with applied bias.
It has also proved an aid to predicting trends with temperature, bias etc. and has been successfully used to fit spectra measured with different shaping times, giving trap release time constants and hence a value for trap activation energy.

 Gallium(III) arsenide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another advantage of GaAs is that it has a direct band gap, which means that it can be used to emit light.
Because GaAs and AlAs have almost the same lattice constant, the layers have very little induced strain, which allows them to be grown almost arbitrarily thick.
The combination of GaAs with germanium and indium gallium phosphide is the basis of a triple junction solar cell which holds the record efficiency of over 32% and can operate also with light as concentrated as 2,000 suns.
