The aim of this paper is to examine the coarsening process in the evolution of the surface morphology during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A numerical approach for modeling the evolution of surface roughening in film growth by MBE is proposed. The model is based on the nonlinear differential equations by Kuramoto–Sivashinsky (KS) namely, KS and CKS (conserved KS). In particular, we propose a “combined version” of KS and CKS equations, which is solved as a function of a parameter r for the 1 + 1 dimensional case. The computation provides film height as a function of space and time. From this quantity the change of the width of the film over time has numerically been studied as a function of r. The main result of the research is that the surface width is exponentially increasing with increasing time and the change in surface width for smaller r values is significantly greater over longer time interval.

AbstractThe surface morphology of Ge grown on Si (001) and porous Si(001) by molecular beam epitaxy at 380 °C is examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM). For layer thicknesses of 30 nm, the surface shows islanding while still maintaining some of the underlying roughness of the surface of porous Si. For thicknesses in the 100 nm range, the surface roughness is not visible, but the islanding persists. Unlike the case of silicon where islands tend to merge and nearly disappear as the thickness of the deposited layer rises, we observe on the porous layer the persistence of the islands with no merging even for macroscopic thicknesses as large as 0.73 microns.

Abstract:We report on a strong effect of p-GaN surface morphology on the growth mode and surface roughness of ZnO:Ga films grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy on p-GaN/c-sapphire templates. A range of ZnO:Ga surface morphologies varying from rough surfaces with well defined three-dimensional islands, capable to enhance light extraction in light-emitting diodes, to rather smooth surfaces with a surface roughness of ~ 2 nm suitable for vertical-cavity lasers can be achieved by controlling the surface morphologies of p-GaN. Optical transmittance measurements revealed high transparency exceeding 90% in the visible spectral range for ZnO:Ga with both types of surface morphology.
