Nucleation of InP on Si under micro-crucibles at ultra-high vacuum using a two-step VLS process
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We reported nucleation mechanisms of InP directly on Si (8% lattice mismatch) under confined structures, called micro-crucibles, at ultra-high vacuum (UHV) by chemical beam epitaxy. These micro-crucibles are used to induce lateral growth in the presence of a micro-scale Au catalyst. It is found that at this UHV condition, the kinetics is dictated predominantly by adatom surface diffusion. Using a two-step growth process ((1) In-only exposure, then, (2) simultaneous In and P exposures), InP islands have been successfully nucleated on Si substrates under micro-crucible structures. The nucleation of these InP islands strongly depends on the metal catalyst location relative to the micro-crucible opening with metal catalysts residing closer to the opening having a higher chance to get incorporated with In and P atoms. Importantly, we found that using smaller micro-crucibles with double openings can increase the possibility of having metal catalysts reside near either opening and nucleate InP under micro-crucibles.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
