Abstract

A simple method for high-precision epitaxial semiconductor growth, using ex situ materials analysis for frequent re-calibration, has been developed. The method is shown to allow reproducible growth of material for use in low-cost commercial heterostructure devices. Even tunnel devices, with their extreme sensitivity to growth parameters, show little variation in the electrical characteristics from wafers grown several months apart.
