Improvement of GaAs/AlGaAs molecular beam epitaxial growth by a flux-interruption-and-annealing method using phase-locked reflection high-energy electron diffraction oscillation

Abstract
An exact two-dimensional molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaAs/AlGaAs layers has been achieved by using a flux-interruption-and-annealing method. This growth has been made possible by using phase-locked reflection high-energy electron diffraction oscillation during epitaxial growth. Quality of epitaxial layers grown by this method has been confirmed by photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements.
