The synthesis of GaAs layers on on-axis Si(100) substrates using a Si buffer layer is presented. It is shown that the use of an elastically strained In0.1Ga0.9As layer and In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs superlattices, combined with cyclic thermal annealing, makes it possible to obtain relatively thin templates with smooth surfaces and a surface dislocation density of ~ 8· 107 cm-2. Heterostructures with quantum dots based on such buffer layers exhibit photoluminescence at λ~ 1250 nm at 300 K and carrier lifetimes comparable to those of similar structures grown on lattice-matched GaAs substrates. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of creating efficient light-emitting quantum dot heterostructures on silicon. Keywords: Indium gallium arsenide, quantum dots in a quantum well, molecular beam epitaxy, semiconductors, silicon, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence.
