ABSTRACTSilicon layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy, using both direct resistive heating and indirect radiant heating of the substrate, have been evaluated by photoluminescence measurements, diode I-V characterization, and chemical etching tests. The results show that large densities of defects could be introduced when resistively heated substrates were experiencing thermo-mechanical stress. Films with good crystal quality were grown using a carefully designed radiant type heater.

ABSTRACTWe show that post anneals of short duration at high temperature can markedly improve the quality of CaF2 films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on Si (100). Anneals at 1100°C for 20 sec in an Ar ambient improved χmin, the ratio of backscattered 1.8 MeV He4 ions in the aligned to random direction, from as-grown values of .07 to .26, to post post-anneal values of .03 to .045. This is the best χmin yet reported for the CaF2:Si system. The post-annealed films also show improved resistance to chemical etching and mechanical stress, and increased dielectric breakdown voltages.

AbstractThe effect of atomic aluminum deposited onto sapphire substrates with different nitridation levels on the quality of AlN layers grown by ammonia molecular-beam epitaxy is investigated. The nitridation of sapphire with the formation of ~1 monolayer of AlN is shown to ensure the growth of layers with a smoother surface and better crystal quality than in the case of the formation of a nitrided AlN layer with a thickness of ~2 monolayers. It is demonstrated that the change in the duration of exposure of nitrided substrates to the atomic aluminum flux does not significantly affect the parameters of subsequent AlN layers.
