Abstract

Our research is centered on the use of in-situ measurement probes that monitor semiconductor growth. Our goal is to correlate material parameters observed during growth with device performance. A goal of this presentation is to develop collaborations that will help to develop a model of the thermal behavior of the substrate heater/wafer temperature during the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth process. This model would significantly assist the development of next-generation temperature feedback controls on MBE and MOCVD deposition equipment. Better control of the substrate temperature will also lead to more optimized MBE growth of semiconductor heterostructures.
