Our Growth Facility houses two III-V MBE growth systems (‘W’ and ‘V’ Chambers) with identical configurations and in-situ monitoring capabilities capable of a growth temperature range between 0°C to 1000°C and group III materials/dopants. Many of the device structures grown by the group (over 10,000 to date) have been replicated in both MBE chambers. Substrate temperature monitoring is undertaken by both optical pyrometer (0.97mm) and kSA BandiT band edge thermometry. In-situ monitoring of film growth includes RHEED, pyrometric interferometry and spectral reflectometry.
