MOCVD equipped with k-space in situ stress evolution/growth monitoring system
Thickness Monitoring
- Reflectance measured during growth
- Changes in reflectance used to determine material thickness and growth rate
Stress Monitoring
- Curvature of wafer measured using laser array
- Stress calculated using Stoney Equation to monitor real-time stress evolution during growth
