Abstract

An integrated circuit structure made up of a monocrystalline substrate on which there is an epitaxial intermediate layer of GaAlAs or GaAlAs and Ge with the Ge adjacent to the substrate. The structure is equipped with a single or a combined device epitaxial layer involving GaAs and GaAlAs. The intermediate GaAlAs layer permits substrate, circuit and optical signal application flexibility.
