Selective area epitaxy of GaAs: the unintuitive role of feature size and pitch

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Lucas Güniat, Didem Dede, Valerio Piazza, Martin George Friedl, Elif Nur Dayi, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Akshay Balgarkashi, Vladimir Dubrovskii

Selective area epitaxy (SAE) provides the path for scalable fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures in a device-compatible configuration. In the current paradigm, SAE is understood as localized epitaxy, and is modelled by combining planar and self-asse ...
