Abstract

Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are well established methods for growing epitaxial GaAs and AlGaAs films. However, MOCVD equip- ment uses the highly toxic gas, arsine, and MBE equipment is very costly and coats only one wafer at a time. We have developed a vacuum chemical epitaxy (VCE) reactor which avoids the use of arsine and allows multiple wafers to be coated in a production environment.
