TY - JOUR AB - Recently, remote epitaxy has been explored for the fabrication of freestanding semiconductormembranes and substrate re-use. For remote epitaxy a thin 2D material layer is either manuallytransferred to a substrate or grown directly on a substrate at high temperature, thus limiting theprocess scalability or the choice of substrates. Here, we report on the low-temperature deposition(300 °C) of ultrathin sp2-hybridized 2D amorphous carbon layers with roughness ≤0.3 nm on III-Vsemiconductor substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition as a universal template forremote epitaxy. We present growth and detailed characterization of 2D amorphous carbon layers onvarious host substrates and their subsequent remote epitaxial overgrowth by solid-source molecularbeam epitaxy. We observe that a low-temperature nucleation step is favorable for nucleation of III-Vmaterial growth on amorphous carbon coated substrates. Under optimized preparation conditions,we obtain high-quality, single-crystalline GaAs, cubic-AlN, cubic-GaN and InxGa1xAs layers onGaAs, 3C-SiC and InP carbon-coated (001)-oriented substrates. Our results demonstrate a universaltemplate fabrication process for remote epitaxy. AU - Henksmeier, Tobias AU - Mahler, Pascal AU - Wolff, Annika AU - Deutsch, Dennis AU - Voigt, M.
