The selective area, metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy of gallium arsenide on silicon substrates was investigated. Low-temperature arsenic passivation of the silicon surface was realized at 650 °C. A two-step growth method was used to deposit the GaAs f . . .

Vertical indium phosphide nanowires have been grown epitaxially on silicon (111) by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. Liquid indium droplets were formed in situ and used to catalyze deposition. For growth at 350 °C, about 70% of the wires were vertica . . .
