Linearization of the PR intensity with regard to the phase factor associated with the SRL results in a good approximation that can be expressed as Rp4 = Rp3 + ΔRp.Rp3 is the reflectivity of the three-layer stack ambient-epilayer-substrate. ΔRp describes the properties of the SRL. An explicit relation is derived between ΔRp(t) and the time-dependent surface concentrations ch(t) (h = 1, 2, …, N) of the constituents of the SRL, which holds for conditions of submonolayer coverage of the surface by source vapor molecules. Under conditions of low temperature PCBE at high flux, the SRL is expected to exhibit nonideal behavior, mandating replacement of the surface concentrations by activities. Also, in this case, the thickness of the SRL must be represented in terms of partial molar volumina Vh. Since the relation between ΔRp(t) and the activities of reactants, intermediates and products of the chemical reactions driving heteroepitaxial growth is non-linear, the extraction of kinetic parameters from the measured time dependence of the PR signal generally requires numerical modeling.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF CRYSTAL GROWTH}, author={Bachmann, KJ and Sukidi, N and Hopfner, C and Harris, C and Dietz, N and Tran, HT and Beeler, S and Ito, K and Banks, HT}, year={1998}, month={Jan}, pages={323–337} } @article{bachmann_hopfner_sukidi_miller_harris_aspnes_dietz_tran_beeler_ito_et al._1997, title={Molecular layer epitaxy by real-time optical process monitoring}, volume={112}, DOI={10.1016/S0169-4332(96)00975-0}, abstractNote={In this paper we consider modern methods of optical process monitoring and control in the context of atomic layer epitaxy. One specific method, p-polarized reflectance spectroscopy (PRS), is chosen to assess details of layer-by-layer growth. We show that PRS monitoring under conditions of steady-state growth by pulsed chemical beam epitaxy (PCBE) can achieve the deposition of molecular layers of GaP on silicon (100) deposited with a precision of 5%, which can be improved by reducing the growth rate and increasing the period of time averaging of the reflectance data. Since in the nucleation period prior to formation of a contiguous heteroepitaxial film inhomogeneous surface chemistry and roughening complicates the modeling of the overgrowth process, advances in both experimental methods and theory are required for extending the control to non-steady-state growth conditions. Results of simultaneous single-wavelength PR monitoring and laser light scattering measurements in conjunction with atomic force microscopy studies of short period heteroepitaxial overgrowth processes are presented. The extension of PRS to the monitoring of organometallic chemical vapor deposition at higher pressures is also discussed.}, number={1997 Mar.}, journal={Applied Surface Science}, author={Bachmann, K.

Surface-sensitive optical real-time sensor techniques are very well suited for this task as their applications are not limited to a high vacuum environment. In this article we report the combined application of the optical sensor techniques p-polarized reflectance (PR) and laser light scattering for the real-time monitoring of low temperature growth of epitaxial GaP/GaxIn1−xP heterostructures on Si(001) and GaAs(001) substrates by pulsed chemical beam epitaxy. The high surface sensitivity of PR allows to follow growth processes with submonolayer resolution during the sequential precursor exposure of the surface that causes periodic alterations in composition and thickness of a surface reaction layer (SRL), the effect of which is monitored by PR as a periodic fine structure. This fine structure is superimposed on interference oscillations, resulting from back reflection at the substrate-layer interface with increasing layer thickness. In a linear approximation of the complex four-layer stack reflectance amplitude RR4 in the phase factor Φ1, the optical response to the SRL is formulated as an additive term in the three-layer model that describes the underlying film growth process. Analytical expressions for the first derivative of the PR signal are presented and discussed with respect to the time scale of observation that allows the separation of film growth induced changes from SRL effects. The amplitude modulation and the turning points in the fine structure are assessed and compared to experimental results, showing that an average complex dielectric function of an ultrathin SRL can be quantified, independent of surface coverage.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A-VACUUM SURFACES AND FILMS}, author={Dietz, N and Sukidi, N and Harris, C and Bachmann, KJ}, year={1997}, pages={807–815} }
