Summary :

We have demonstrated the successful fabrication of the monolithic integration of a GaAs metalsemiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET), an AlGaAs/InGaAs laser and a p-n photodetector grown on a SiO2 backcoated p-Si substrate using selective regrowth by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The use of SiO2 backcoated Si substrate is effective in suppressing unintentional Si autodoping and obtaining a good pinch-off GaAs MESFET. The MESFET with 2.5400 µm2 gate exhibited a transconductance of 90 mS/mm and a threshold voltage of 2.2 V. The reliability of the laser on the Si substrate can be improved by the strain-relieved AlGaAs/InGaAs laser with the InGaAs intermediate layer. The longest lifetime of the laser is 8 h at 27. During the GaAs layer growth, the p-n photodetector is formed near the surface of the p-Si substrate by diffusing the As atoms.
