A process for forming GaAs on a silicon substrate with very low levels of unintended silicon doping. First, a dielectric layer of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, or both is grown or deposited on the substrate. Next, a window is opened in the dielectric layer exposing the silicon substrate in the regions in which the GaAs is to be formed. The GaAs layer is then formed on the substrate using conventional techniques with the gas phase transfer of silicon contamination from the edges and back of the silicon substrate to the GaAs region inhibited by the dielectric layer or layers.

A semiconductor wafer having an epitaxial GaAs layer, including a monocrystalline Si substrate having a major surface which is inclined at an off angle between 0.5.degree. and 5.degree. with respect to (100); and at least one intermediate layer epitaxially grown on the major surface of the monocrystalline Si substrate, as a buffer layer for accommodating a lattice mismatch between the Si substrate and the epitaxial GaAs layer which is epitaxially grown on a major surface of the top layer of the at least one intermediate layer. The at least one intermediate layer may comprise one or mor GaP/GaAsP, GaAsP/GaAs superlattice layers. the wafer may be used to produce a seimconductor light emitting element which has a plurality of crystalline gaAs layers including a light emitting layer epitaxially grown on the GaAs layer on the intermediate layer. The wafer may also be used to produce a compound semiconductor device such as amplifying and switching elements, light emitting and receiving elements and photovolataic elements. Methods for producing the semiconductor wafer, light emitting element and compound semiconductor devices are also disclosed.
