Abstract

Nanopatterned substrates provide opportunities for reducing costs of high-efficiency III-V devices through methods such as substrate reuse and growth on cheaper substrates. In this work, we aim to better understand some of the fundamental challenges of growing high quality III-V material on nanopatterned substrates. Through specific pattern orientations and control of overgrowth morphology, we report that smooth and defect-free coalesced III-V epilayers are attainable over nanopatterned GaAs substrates.
