STE3526 Two-reactor MBE System for growth of hybrid heterostructures А3В5/А2В6

Home Products Molecular-Beam Epitaxy Systems (MBE)

Two-reactor STE3526 MBE System is specially designed for growth of hybrid heterostructures А³В⁵/А²В⁶taking into account all specific of MBE growth of these material systems.
STE3526 is intended for R&D activities and pilot production of epitaxial nanostructures on the base of wide band А²В⁶ materials (Cd(Zn)Se/ZnMgSSe etc.) using of high-quality GaAs buffer layers, previously grown in А³В⁵-reactor.
The specific feature of the System is providing of ultra-pure UHV transport of wafers from А³В⁵-reactor to А²В⁶ one avoiding uncontrolled contaminations of GaAs growth interface.

• “lab to fab” ideology, allowing carrying out activities from fundamental research to pilot production of heterostructures
• special effusion cells for Al (cold lip) for stable operation and Ga (hot lip) for obtaining of structures with low density of oval defects
• valved cracker cells for V and VI group materials
• sufficient tools for in-situ monitoring of growth process in basic configuration
• specially designed growth manipulator, providing high temperature uniformity and heating/cooling rate dynamic
• rapid process start up due to intensive technological support
• simple System operation and regular technical maintenance
