Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is a thin film deposition process in which thermal beams of atoms or molecules react on the clean surface of a single-crystalline substrate, held at high temperatures under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, to form an epitaxial film. Thus, contrary to the CVD processes described in the other articles, the MBE process is a physical method of thin film deposition.The vacuum requirements for the MBE process are typically better than 10−10torr. This makes it possible to grow epitaxial films with high purity and excellent crystal quality at relatively low substrate temperatures. Additionally, the ultrahigh vacuum environment allows the study of surface, interface, and bulk properties of the growing film in real time, by employing a variety of structural and analytical probes.Although the MBE deposition process was first proposed by Günther in 1958, its implementation had to wait for the development of the ultrahigh vacuum technology. In 1968 Davey and Pankey successfully grew epitaxial GaAs films by the MBE process. At the same time Arthur's work on the kinetics of GaAs growth laid the groundwork for the growth of high quality MBE films of GaAs and other III-V compounds by Arthur and LePore and Cho.

Chemical solution methods for thin-film deposition constitute an affordable alternative to high-vacuum physical technologies, like Sputtering, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) or Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE).
