Module 4 : Chemical and non–chemical approach to materials synthesis - part 2

Lecture 24 : Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Advantages of MBE Technique

> Clean growth environment

> Precise control of the beam fluxes and growth condition

> Easy implementation of in situ diagnostic instruments

> Compatibility with other high vacuum thin-film processing methods (metal

   evaporation, ion beam milling, ion implantation)
