Abstract :
The steam oxidation of GaAs is characterised. In the temperature range 500-520°C the steam process forms a dense, smooth Gax Oy film characterised by a volume contraction of 5-10%. The oxidation process is readily masked by SiO2, and can therefore be applied selectively to a GaAs crystal surface
