Effects of shutter transients in molecular beam epitaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
: We have studied the effects of shutter transients (STs) in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Two series of samples were grown by MBE and evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements. The effects of STs were evaluated by growth rate (GR) analysis using a combination of growth time (GT) and thickness evaluated by XRD and XRR measurements. We revealed two opposite effects of STs: (1) overshoot of GR and (2) increase in GR with GT and subsequent saturation. Each effect was consistent with the previous studies; however, the previous studies showed no relationships between these two effects. By considering closing time of the shutter, the two opposite effects were well understood.

Atomic Force microscopy was used to investigate the morphology of GaAs(001) layers deposited by molecular beam epitaxy using a non conventional growth method that involves the supply of a few monolayers of gallium (the arsenic cell is shuttered) followed by the annealing of the surface under an arsenic ux (the gallium cell is shuttered). When the silicon shutter is opened and closed together wi...

We have used solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow InGaAs quantumwell lasers emitting at 980nm in a novel configuration of periodic index separate confinement heterostructure (PINSCH). Periodic multilayers (GaAs/A1GaAs) are utilized as optical confinement layers to reduce the transverse beam divergence as well as to increase the maximum output power. The multilayers are grown by tem...
