Capabilities

From deposition
to characterization.

A connected setup for growing thin films and examining their optical properties.

Grow the film.

A cold-wall reactor with a rotating, resistively heated substrate holder. Six bubbler manifolds supply liquid or solid precursors, with recipe-driven control and data logging.

Follow the growth.

In-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry monitors the film during deposition. Measurements can be compared with the recorded growth conditions.

Connect to characterization.

Robotic high-vacuum transfer connects the growth chamber to a glovebox with WITec Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Documented process capabilities

Three chalcogenides.
A two-inch platform.

Monolayer growth on 2-inch c-plane sapphire, as listed by the Penn State facility.
