Abstract

A method for depositing GaAs on a substrate is disclosed, involving applying a thin liquid film of a gallium-arsenic complex solution to the substrate and evaporating arsenide complex. The gallium-arsenic complex is selected from the group of complexes having the formula X.sub.3 GaAsR.sub.3 where X is chlorine, bromine, iodine, phenyl, methyl or trifluoromethyl and R is by hydrogen, phenyl, benzyl, methyl or trifluoromethyl. The thin solid film is irradiated with ultraviolet light at a sufficient wavelength and of a sufficient intensity to photochemically convert the gallium-arsenic complex to GaAs.
