MBE setups

The group possesses the up-to-date setups for growth of III-V, II-VI and III-Nitrides semiconductor heterostructures by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE):

The MBE setup RIBER-32P

The MBE setup RIBER-32P ((Riber, France) for growth of III-V semiconductor heterostructures (AlGaAsSb, InGaAsSb, InAsSb etc). Growth chamber contains 8 molecular beam cells, including As valved cracking cell. The growth chamber has a horizontal geometryand equipped with a quadrupole mass spectrometer for analysis of residual atmosphere. The MBE setup is also equipped with modern diagnostic tools for growth control: reflection high energy electron diffraction and IR pyrometer. The maximum available wafer diameter is 3 inches.
The setup has been fully re-equipped in 2002. Chemical cleaning of the cryopanel of the setup was performed in 2012.

The MBE setup STE3526

The MBE setup SemiTEq STE3526 (supplied by "Semiconductor Technologies and Equipment" JSC, St.-Petersburg, Russia) for growth of wide gap II-VI heterostructures (ZnMgSSe, ZnCdSe, ZnCdTe, CdMgSe), as well as diluted magnetic semiconductors (II-Mn-VI). SemiTEq STE3526 MBE setup consists of two Growth Chambers (III-V and II-VI) with specific material sources, Load-Lock Chamber, Preparation Chamber with the possibility of preliminary annealing of substrates, and Storage buffer Chamber. The Growth Chambers are realized in a progressive vertical geometry commonly used by the major MBE equipment manufacturers. The maximum available wafer diameter is 2″, the epitaxy on ¼ of 2″ substrates also is possible. Veeco valved cracking cells are used as the Se and As sources.

The MBE setup Compact 21T

The MBE setup Compact 21T ((Riber, France) (release 2004) for growth of III-Nitride heterostructures (AlGaInN doped with Si and Mg) with the improved accuracy of maintenance of technological parameters and unique opportunities of simultaneous use of plasma and high-temperature (ammonia cracking) techniques for nitrogen activation. 11 molecular beam sources are available. The setup is equipped with the following diagnostic-monitoring systems for growth: reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), optical reflectometry, IR-pyrometry and optical emission spectrometry for recording of N2 plasma emission. The maximum available wafer diameter is 3 inches.
