Popis: Device-quality layers were regrown on GaAs wafers by molecular-beam epitaxy over conductive pregrown areas and on selectively patterned high-resistivity areas formed by oxygen implantation. The regrowth over both areas resulted in comparable device-quality GaAs. The high resistivity of the oxygen-implanted area was maintained after the regrowth and no oxygen incorporation was observed in the regrown layer. The cutoff frequency of a 1.5-μm-gate metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor fabricated on the regrown layer over the high-resistivity areas is 7 GHz. This demonstration shows that planar technology can be used in epitaxial regrowth, simplifying the integration of vastly different devices into monolithic circuits.
