Abstract
Abstract A field-effect transistor comprises a semi-insulating InP substrate, a strained buffer layer of Al X Ga 1-X As grown on the substrate, and an active layer of GaAs. The active layer is eased in regard to the influence of the lattice mismatching between the active layer and substrate. Such a field-effect transistor is associated with an optical device in a monolithic manner on a common semi-insulating InP substrate.
