Multiple reflection high-energy electron diffraction beam intensity measurement system

A video-based analysis system for reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is described which simultaneously measures the intensities and profiles of multiple diffraction beams. This system is used to record real-time RHEED intensity oscillations for layer-by-layer epitaxial growth. Fast Fourier transform analysis of the oscillation data is used to directly determine the growth rate and to accurately obtain phase information about the oscillations. This system is demonstrated and compared to other methods of recording RHEED oscillation data.

The influence of Sb doping on the growth and electronic properties of GaAs(100) and AlGaAs(100)

Isoelectronic doping using antimony has been shown to reduce traps and improve material properties during epitaxial growth of Si doped GaAs(100) and AlGaAs(100). In this study, the effect of the antimony dopant on the optimal growth temperature is examined with the aim of producing high-quality heterostructures at lower temperatues. High-quality films of GaAs and AlGaAs have been grown by molecular-beam epitaxy at the normal growth temperatures of 610 and 700 C, respectively, and 50-100 C below this temperature using varying small amounts of Sb as a dopant. Electrical properties of the films were then examined using Hall mobility measurements and deep-level transient spectroscopy.

Epitaxial growth of InSb (111) on sapphire (0001)

Indium antimonide has been epitaxially grown directly on sapphire. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction, TEM, and SEM data are presented to show that the indium antimonide layer is epitaxial, has an abrupt interface with the sapphire, and grows in the 111-line direction. Mobility data show room-temperature mobilities as high as 10,000 sq cm/V s from some regions on the wafer.
