Continuous in situ growth rate extraction using pyrometric interferometry and laser reflectance measurement during molecular beam epitaxy
We describe a new, universal, and easy-to-use method for real-time thickness and growth rate extraction based on in situ optical monitoring during molecular beam epitaxy of GaAs/AlAs layered structures. The metho...

Characterization of surface roughness anisotropy on mismatched InAIAs/lnP heterostructures
We have studied surface roughness on mismatched In0.65Al0.35As epilayers of various thicknesses on (001) InP. The sample set spans the entire range from coherently strained to completely relaxed epilayers. As cha...

Closed-Loop Thickness Control of Resonant-Tunneling Diode MBE Growth Using Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
The room temperature electrical characteristics of AlAs/InGaAs/InAs resonant-tunneling diode (RTD) devices are sensitive to sub-monolayer thickness changes, and present a challenging case for closed-loop contr...

Real-Time monitoring of III-V molecular beam epitaxial growth using spectroscopic ellipsometry
We report the real-time monitoring of monolayer thickness changes in AlAs and GaAs layer growth on rotating GaAs substrates using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). A phase-modulated spectroscopic ellipsometer w...

In Situ Flux Transient Monitoring and Correction During MBE Growth of Quantum Well Structures
Shutter closure during MBE deposition causes source overheating and results in flux transients. These transients are particularly detrimental to the thickness and compositional accuracy of thin quantum well la...

The effects of UV laser irradiation on the filament-assisted deposition of diamond
The effects of 193 and 308 nm excimer laser radiation on the filament-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond were investigated, in attempts to reproduce and quantify the reported mechanism of lase...

Investigations of Excimer Laser Effects on CVD Diamond Growth
We investigated UV laser irradiation as a method to modify the surface and gas phase chemistry in a diamond growth apparatus. In particular, attempts were made to reproduce reported laser-enhanced deposition. ...

The gas phase “matrix isolation” spectroscopy of CH3F
We report infrared photodissociation spectra for Ne, Ar, Kr, N2 and CH4 clusters which contain CH3F chromophores. The CH3Fv 3 mode is excited with a line tunable CO2 laser. Mass spectrometer detection of changes ...
