Abstract: | A combination of the surface diagnostic techniques Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was used in order to get more detailed information on basic processes which lead to the formation of high quality monocrystalline GaAs and Al x Ga1−x As films by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The formation and changes of reconstructed surface structures on (100) GaAs as a function of growth parameters were observedduring growth by RHEED. AES was used to determine the relative ratio of Ga/As on the surface for different reconstructed structures, to investigate the impurity contamination on substrate surfaces and grown films, and to study the surface segregation of Sn in MBE GaAs during doping. Finally, intentional and unintentional impurities incorporated during the growth of GaAs and Al x Ga1−x As by MBE were detected by the SIMS technique immediately after growth within the reaction chamber. |
