MBE Resources

Here are two good book chapters for getting started with MBE:

• : Molecular Beam Epitaxy of High-Quality GaAs and AlGaAs (Book Chapter)

  • Seth says: "Learn to grow from this!"

  • This is the most complete (and correct) description of MBE procedures and growth considerations.

  • Seth says: "Read Harris and Larkins over and over again!"

• : The Technology and Design of Molecular Beam Epitaxy Systems (Book Chapter)

  • Decent overview of MBE hardware and system design.

• : Applied RHEED Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction During Crystal Growth

Semiconductors Resources

• The World of Compound Semiconductors

  • An unfinished book that, never-the-less, is a good intro.
