Epitaxy: Deposition and growth of monocrystalline structures/layers. Epitaxial growth results in monocrystalline layers differing from deposition which gives rise to polycrystalline and bulk structures. Epitaxy types: Homoepitaxy: Substrate & material are of same kind. (Si-Si) Heteroepitaxy: Substrate & material are of different kinds.

Undesired polycrystalline layers Growth rate: ~2 µ m/min. Liquid-Phase Epitaxy (LPE) Crystal layers are from the melt existent on the substrate. Hard to make thin films Growth rate: 0. 1 -1 µ m/min. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Relies on the sublimation of ultrapure elements, then condensation of them on wafer In a vacuum chamber (pressure: ~10 -11 Torr). “ Beam”: molecules do not collide to either chamber walls or existent gas atoms. Growth rate: 1 µ m/hr.

The solid source materials sublimate They provide an angular distribution of atoms or molecules in a beam. The substrate is heated to the necessary temperature. The gaseous elements then condense on the wafer where they may react with each other. Molecular Beam Epitaxy** ** http: //iramis. cea. fr/en/Phocea/Vie_des_labos/Ast/ast_sstechnique. php? id_ast=494 A toms on a clean surface are free to move until finding correct position in the crystal lattice to bond. Growth occurs at the step edges formed : M ore binding forces at an edge.
