The growth of III-V materials on Si is quite challenging due to the lattice mismatch and incompatible thermal expansion coefficients, which leads to a high density of dislocations. Due to the low lattice mismatch, GaP has been shown to overcome these obstacles. GaAs and Si- based photonic crystal (PhC) cavity prevents the use of emitters such as molecules that typically have resonances at visible wavelengths. GaP-based PhC cavity is one of the possible candidates for coupled PhC cavity-molecule systems to generate identical single-emitters for potential applications in scalable solid-state quantum systems.
Here, we report on the growth of GaP on Si substrates as well as GaP-based membrane structures using molecular beam epitaxy. The effects of different growth parameters on the formation of GaP structure where nucleation layer acts as a virtual substrate are investigated. The design and fabrication of GaP-based PhC cavity structures are also discussed. The optical properties of the grown structures are examined by photoluminescence spectroscopy.
