The effects of atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) on the surface Morphology, the antiphase boundaries (APBs) and the dislocation density of GaAs grown on exactly (001)-oriented Ge/Si virtual substrates (VS) have been investigated. ALE combined with the insertion of a low temperature (<500degreesC) GaAs buffer layer led to a drastic reduction of the APBs and of the dislocation density (<5 x 10(5) cm(-2)), and to a reduction of the surface roughness, thus leading to an important improvement of the photo luminescence yield of InGaAs quantum well (QW) based structures. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) containing InGaAs/GaAs QWs have been realised on exactly (00 I)-oriented Ge/Si VS. We observed room-temperature continuous wave operation from these LEDs.
