Abstract

Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is an ultrahigh vacuum technique for preparing thin epitaxial layers of II–VI1,2 III–V3–5 and IV–VI6,7 semiconductors. The growth process consisting of incident molecular beams provides a high degree of control over layer doping, composition, uniformity and thickness. Such control is not achievable with liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) or chemical vapor Deposition (CVD) techniques.
