AbstractSpectral ellipsometry (SE) was applied to in situ composition control of Hg1−xCdxTe grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and the impact of surface topography of the Hg1−xCdxTe layers on the accuracy of SE was investigated. Of particular importance is the presence of surface defects, such as voids in MBE- Hg1−xCdx.Te layers. While dislocations do not have any significant impact on the dielectric functions, the experimental data in this work show that MBE- Hg1−xCdxTe samples having the same composition, but different void densities, have different effective dielectric functions.

ABSTRACTA variety of optical methods are now available for studying surface processes and for monitoring layer thicknesses and compositions during semiconductor crystal growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD), and related techniques. Spectroellipsometry (SE) and spectroreflectometry (SR), the older, primarily bulk-sensitive probes, are now augmented by new, primarily surface-sensitive probes such as reflectance-difference spectroscopy (RDS), second-harmonic generation (SHG), and laser light scattering (LLS). Examples of real-time growth studies now include SE determinations of thicknesses and compositions of AlxGa1–xAs layers on GaAs by organometallic molecular beam epitaxy (OMMBE) to 10 Å thickness scales, RDS determinations of surface dielectric anisotropy spectra of various (001) GaAs surfaces relevant to crystal growth by MBE, and LLS determinations of the evolution of surface roughness during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth on Si. Proven capabilities suggest new applications, particularly to growth-interrupted and metastable systems.
