Abstract

We have demonstrated the fabrication of two structures achieved by the thin ifim transfer technique: back4lluminated InAlAsfInGaAs metal. semiconducthr-metal (MSM) detectors with buried interdigitated fingers on GaAs substrates; and long wavelength InGaAsP lasers on GaAs or Si substrates. For optoelectromc system applications, one often considers the use of a single material system for both the optical and electronic components on the chip, because it is not complicated by lattice mismatch. Compared to epitaxial growth of latticemismatched material systems, such as GaAs on Si, the thin ifim transfer technique does not result in a substantial number of misfit dislocations which can adversely affect device performance. The results we obtained demonstrate the feasibility of the thin film transfer process and point to the potential integration of OEICs and other components fabricated from a variety of materials on a common host substrate.
