Abstract
Certain semiconductor device structures are described in which single crystal layers of cubic Group II fluorides cover at least part of the surface of III-V semiconductor compound. The Fluoride crystal has a cubic structure and may be lattice matched or lattice mismatched to the compound semiconductor substrate depending on fluoride composition. These fluoride single crystal layers are put down by a molecular beam epitaxy procedure using certain critical substrate temperature ranges and a particular cleaning procedure.
