The Si incorporation on GaAs (0 0 1) has been studied in real time by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) at conditions of enhanced adatom mobility. In the RAS spectra, besides resonances due to As and Ga dimers on the GaAs surface also features due to Si dimers in single and double layers as well as As dimers adsorbed on them are identified. The incorporation process is very complex due to Si-induced As desorption, combined incorporation of Si and As, and readsorption of As on (Si, Ga). At conditions of high adatom mobility (low AS4 pressure) a single Si layer is nearly completed before Si incorporation in a second layer takes place, whereas for reduced adatom mobility (high AS4 pressure) islanding with Si incorporation in a double layer is found in early growth stages.
