Growth facilities

CIP offers state of the art growth of III/V planar wafers using either MOVPE or MBE, and MOVPE overgrowth to produce complex three dimensional
device structures including buried heterostructure geometries.The integrated
nature of the facility enables epitaxial planar growth, device definition, overgrowth and subsequent processing under one roof to produce fully fabricated and tested chips, for R&D or pilot production.The Centre has four
MOVPE systems including a state-of-the-art 8 wafer Aixtron 2400G3, and one gas source MBE kit. Comprehensive in-house characterisation
techniques include double crystal x-ray diffraction, room temperature PL, carrier concentration profiling and high resolution SEM.

Experience

Scientists at CIP were influential in the early development of the MOVPE and MBE growth techniques and have many years experience in developing innovative solutions for R&D and pilot production of photonic devices.

Capabilities

  • Highly uniform growth of very high quality multi-quantum well structures over multiple wafers with excellent repeatability.
  • Overgrowth to form high reliability buried heterostructures, including high efficiency current blocking structures, optimised low resistance contact structures and overgrowth of nanometre scale gratings.
  • High efficiency butt joining of active and passive devices for horizontal integration.
  • In-situ etching of structures in the MOVPE reactor prior to overgrowth.

CIP engineers have extensive experience of the successful transfer of epitaxial growth and overgrowth processes to industrial partners.

CIP can also offer a comprehensive III-V device fabrication and design service (see associated data sheets).

Summary of Facilities

  • Four MOVPE systems, including one Aixtron 2400G3 with multi (8x2") wafer capacity and three horizontal reactor systems with 1x2" wafer capacity
  • One gas source MBE system with 1x2" wafer capacity
  • Double crystal x-ray diffraction with automatic wafer mapping and modelling
  • Room temperature photoluminescence with fully automated rapid wafer mapping
  • High resolution spectrophotometer for band edge measurement
  • Electrochemical carrier concentration profiling
  • Hall mobility and carrier concentration measurement
  • Nanometre resolution scanning electron microscope High resolution surface profilometers
  • Imaging interferometer for surface profiling
  • Extensive in-house knowledge of a range of analysis techniques including secondary ion mass spectrometry, low temperature photoluminescence and transmission electron microscopy allowing effective intelligent interaction with groups providing such services
