We investigated the opportunities to increase the electric uniformity of GaAs and InGaAs films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) technique on monocrystalline (single crystal) GaAs: both on porous and conventional so-called monolithic (without pores) GaAs (100) substrates. The basic attention was given to study the electrically active defects in films by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) with new technique which is called Rau-detector [E.I. Rau, A.N. Zhukov and E.B. Yakimov, Solid-State Phenomena, 1998, v. 53-54, 327.]. We compared the main properties of epitaxial GaAs and InGaAs films grown on above mentioned substrates. The films grown on porous substrates had higher structural perfection including the following advantages: (a) smoother surface due to lateral growth mechanism; (b) less density of structural defects (without dislocation walls), the density of pyramidal defects was similar to 2 x 10(5) cm(-2) as compared with the density 2 x 107 cm(-2) in the films grown on monolithic substrates; (c) less electrical activity of various structural defects and increased electric uniformity of grown films. The electrical activity of defects in films grown on porous substrates was essentially lowered due to gettering properties of porous substrate. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
