  • The spatial potential distribution of electron cyclotron resonance plasma is measured as a function of tehsubstrate DC bias by Langmuir probe method. It is observed that the substrate DC bias changes the slope of the plasma potential near the subsrate, resulting in changes in flux and energy of the impinging ions across plasma $_strate boundary along themagnetric field. The effect of the substrate DC bias on the low-temperature silicon homoepitaxy (below $560^{\circ}C$) is examine dby in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), cross-section transmission electron microscopy (XTEM),plan-view TEM and high resolution transmision electron microscopy(HRTEM). While the polycrystalline silicon layers are grow withnegative substrate biases, the single crystaline silicon layers are grown with negative substrate biases, the singel crystalline silicon layers are grown with positive substrate biases. As the substrate bias changes form negative to positive values, the growth rate decreases. It is concluded that the control of the ion energy during plasma deposition is very important in silicon epitaxy at low temperatures below $560^{\circ}C$ by UHV-ECRCVD.VD.

  • The homoepitaxy of Si(5 5 12) at $495^{\circ}C$ has been studied by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy under ultrahigh vacuum. A Si-dimer is the basic building-block and preferentially adsorbs on a unique site, that is, the Si-dimer/adatom site at the (337) and the (225) subsections within the Si(5 5 12) unit cell. The Si(5 5 12) unit cell is faceted to $3\times(337)$ subsections filled with Si-addimers and $1\times(113)$ subsection. In this step the tetramer at the other (337) section within the unit cell is transformed to a dimer/adatom site which can accept Si-dimers. Each (337) section is faceted to $1\times(112)\;and\;1\times(113)$, and then finally the unit cell of Si(5 5 12) is faceted to $3\tiems(112)\;and\;4\times(113)$ and forms the facet of effective height, $2.34{\AA}$. In this step, mutual transformation between the honeycomb chain and the dimer/adatom occurs. Finally, the valley between (112) and (113) facets is filled. If once the last step is completed, the uniform and planar Si(5 5 12) terrace is recovered. From the present study, therefore, it can be concluded that the homoepitaxy on Si(5 5 12) is periodically achieved and such growth mode is quite unique since faceting of the substrate-unit-cell plays a critical role for controlling uniformity of the overlayer.

  • Initial growth stage was investigated for SiC homoepitaxial film growth using 'step controlled epitaxy' technique. When the off angel direction is located parallel along to the gas flow direction, the smoother surface can be obtained. On the on axis substrates, selective etching was detected both the etching and growth condition. It was deduced that the high ratio of C/Si in the source gas results in well developed steps and etched spiral around micropipes.

  • Molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaAs on Si substrate and the results on its analysis are reported. Epitaxy was performed on two different types of the substrate under various grwth conditions, and was analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopes, X-ray diffractometer, photoluminescence and Hall measurements. GaAs epitaxial layer has better crystalline quality when it was grown on a tilt-cut substrate. The stress seems to be releaxed more easily when multi-quantum well was introduced in the buffer layer. The epilayer was doped unintentionally with Si during growth due to the diffusion of the substrate. Also observed is that the quantum efficiency of excitonic radiative recombination of the heteroepitaxy is not as good as that of the homoepitaxy in the same doping level.

  • Undoped InP epilayers with high purity were grown by using $In/PCl_3/H_2$ chloride vapor phase epitaxy. It was found that the growth of InP homoepitaxial layer is optimized at the growth temperature of $630^{\circ}C$ and at the $PCl_3$ molar fraction of $1.2\times10^{-2}$. The carrier concentration of InP epilayer was less than $10^{14} {cm}^{-3}$ from the low temperature (11K) photoluminescence measurement. Growth behavior of undoped InP current blocking layer on reactive ion-etched (RIE) mesas has been investigated for the realization of 1.55 $\mu \textrm m$buried-heterostructure laser diode (BH LD), using chloride vapor phase epitaxy. On the base of InP homoepitaxy, InP current blocking layers were grown at the growth temperatures ranging from $620^{\circ}C$ to $640^{\circ}C$. Almost planar grown surfaces without edge overgrowth were achieved as the growth temperature increased. It implied that higher temperature enhanced the surface diffusion of the growth species on the {111} B planes and suppressed edge overgrowth.
