Knowledge of material pseudodielectric functions at MBE growth temperatures is essential for achieving in-situ, real time growth control. This allows us to accurately monitor and control thicknesses of the layers during growth. Undesired effusion cell temperature fluctuations during growth can thus be compensated for in real-time by spectroscopic ellipsometry. The accuracy in determining pseudodielectric functions is increased if one does not require applying a structure model to correct for the presence of an unknown surface layer such as a native oxide. Performing these measurements in an MBE reactor on as-grown material gives us this advantage. Thus, a simple three phase model (vacuum/thin film/substrate) can be used to obtain thin film data without uncertainties arising from a surface oxide layer of unknown composition and temperature dependence.In this study, we obtain the pseudodielectric functions of MBE-grown AlAs from growth temperature (650°C) to room temperature (30°C). The profile of the wavelength-dependent function from the ellipsometry data indicated a rough surface after growth of 0.5 μm of AlAs at a substrate temperature of 600°C, which is typical for MBE-growth of GaAs.

In this work, we developed a microfluidic bioreactor for optimizing growth and maintaining structure and function of HepG2, and when desired, the device could be removed and the extracellular output from the bioreactor combined with enzymatic glucose reagents into a droplet-based microfluidic system. The intensity of the resulting fluorescent assay product in the droplets was measured, and was directly correlated to glucose concentration, allowing the effect of insulin on glucose consumption in the HepG2 cells to be observed and quantified online and in near real-time.
