Abstract

Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) has become a well-established technique for the growth of ultra-thin films and devices with precise control of thickness, doping concentration and composition. The importance of MBE, basic growth processes, different forms of MBE and some of its recent applications are described in this review article.
