The intrinsic microstructure of Si/GaAs heterointerfaces fabricated by surface-activated bonding at room temperature is examined by plane-view transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cross-sectional scanning TEM using damage-free TEM specimens prepared only by mechanochemical etching. The bonded heterointerfaces include an As-deficient crystalline GaAs layer with a thickness of less than 1 nm and an amorphous Si layer with a thickness of approximately 3 nm, introduced by the irradiation of an Ar atom beam for surface activation before bonding. It is speculated that the interface resistance mainly originates from the As-deficient defects in the former layer.
