  1. MBE GROWTH AND INSTRUMENTATION Thesis Proposal Outline for the Degree of Master of Science Major Professor Dr. Terry Golding Ph.D, University of North Texas

  2. MBE GROWTH AND INSTRUMENTATION • MBE growth. • RHEED. • Research Method. • References

  3. MBE Growth • Introduction. • Description of MBE system and functioning. • Advantages and applications.

  4. MBE GROWTH-INTRODUCTION Schematic illustration of basic evaporation process for MBE

  5. MBE GROWTHDESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONING Schematic cross section of an advanced three- chamber UHV system designed for MBE growth

  6. MBE GROWTH APPLICATIONS AND ADVANTAGES • Growth of electronic and photonic devices such as solar cells, diode lasers, LEDs and heterojunction bi-polar junction transistor. • Slow growth rate of ~1μm. • Reduced temperatures of about 500-600oC • Reduced handling requirements of toxic materials such as As. • The ability to abruptly cease or initiate molecular beams producing hyperabrupt surfaces. • Facility of in situ analysis during growth.

  7. RHEED - INTRODUCTION • Powerful tool for in situ analysis during the growth process. • Used to calibrate growth rates. • Observe removal of oxides from the substrate. • Calibrate the substrate temperature. • Monitor the arrangement of surface atoms. • Give a beedback on surface morphology.

  8. RHEED PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION RHEED Gun setup for MBE growth

  9. RHEED - OSCILLATIONS Video tape stills of Sn-modified Rheed patterns from As-stabilized (001) GaAs at 550oC: (a) Without Ga flux (b) Immediately after applying Ga flux.

  10. RHEED OSCILLATIONS PLOT Recorder traces of intensity as a function of time at the point A

  11. RHEED – INTENSITY VARIATIONS Illustration of RHEED spot oscillations during the growth of a monolayer

  12. RHEED PATTERNS – AN EXAMPLE RHEED patterns and the corresponding electron micrographs of (110) GaAs grown using MBE : (a) GaAs heated in vaccum to 580oC for 5min. (b) 150oA layer of GaAS on the surface of (a). (c) 1µm of GaAs deposited on surface of (a )

  13. MBE – RESEARCH METHOD • Experimental. • Video RHEED Intensity Measurement System. • LabVIEW, frame grabber cards. • Specview. • Spectramass PC2000.
