Abstract

Silicon 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.
