Abstract

An in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometer has been installed on a molecular beam epitaxy system to improve control of HgCdTe molecular beam epitaxy. Using the spectroscopic ellipsometer, in-situ analysis of substrate preparation, surface cleanliness and substrate temperature were monitored. These results were correlated with in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction and Auger spectroscopy. A real time spectroscopic ellipsometric model was developed which determined the substrate temperature as well as the overlayer thickness.
