What it is

The Veeco K 465 is a Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) reactor.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

MOCVD reactors operate by introducing metalorganic precursors and hydride source gases into a reaction chamber using a carrier gas, typically hydrogen or nitrogen.

The substrate is placed on a heated susceptor, often rotating to improve uniformity, and the gases flow across the substrate surface where thermal decomposition and chemical reactions deposit a thin crystalline film.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

MOCVD is used after substrate preparation and before subsequent device fabrication steps such as lithography, etching, and metallization.

The process is employed for epitaxial growth of compound semiconductor layers on wafers, forming the foundation for optoelectronic and electronic devices.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications include manufacturing of light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, high-electron-mobility transistors, and multijunction solar cells.
