The analysis of the character and nature of nonlinear effect of various compositions of chemostimulators on the GaAs-supported oxide layer thickness grown on the GaAs surface was performed. It is shown that the actual oxide layer thickness is different from the additive value. The main patterns of the impact for binary compositions of p-element oxides of p-elements on thermal oxidation of gallium arsenide determined by physico-chemical nature of chemostimulators, the nature of their interaction and the method of administration in the system were described.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>semiconductors</kwd><kwd>gallium arsenide</kwd><kwd>thin films</kwd><kwd>thermal oxidation</kwd><kwd>nonlinear effects</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the countryregionplaceRussian Federation in line with government order for Higher Education Institutions in the field of science for 2014-2016 years (project No. 673) and by RFBR grant No. 13-03- 00705-a.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Mittova I.Ya., Pshestanchik V.R.
