Ramírez Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas homogeneity layer growth MBE technology Radial beam flux inhomogeneities of Knudsen-type evaporation sources have an adverse effect on the lateralthickness distribution, dopant concentration and mole-fraction uniformity of deposited thin films on wafers, inparticular when the substrate size is of concern. Presently, the common and most successful technique in order toachieve uniformities better that 1 % is to slowly rotate the substrate during growth. This however is not compatiblewith most in-growth analyzing techniques, as e.g. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and high energy electrondiffraction (RHEED), leave alone the unwanted particle generation by mechanically moving parts in an ultra-highvacuum chamber.
