摘要

in situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) is an optical technique which is well suited for the monitoring of epitaxial semiconductor growth, due to its high surface sensitivity and noninvasive nature. In this work, SE systems were installed on both MBE and MOCVD deposition systems to monitor the epitaxial growth of In_xGa_(1-x)As and In_xAl_(1-x)As compounds on InP substrates. The structures grown include thick lattice matched In_(0.53)Ga_(0.47)As buffer layers (for HBT collectors), and strained RTD structures. SE was used to monitor in real-time layer composition and thickness during growth. To enhance the precision and accuracy of the SE determined growth parameters, it was necessary to optimize the SE data analysis strategies. A methodology to determine the best spectral region for the SE data analysis in the presence of noise and systematic effects (such as angle of incidence uncertainty, detector wavelength shifts, surface roughness, uncertainty in surface temperature, non-ideal growth modes, etc.) is presented. Using the optimized data analysis strategies, long term SE-determined In_xGa_(1-x)As composition accuracy (as verified by ex situ x-ray measurements) of =-0.002 in 'x' was achieved. SE thickness measurements of ultra-thin (<30A) strained AlAs layers were also in excellent agreement (+-0.5A) with real-time photo-emission oscillation measurements.
