Deng such as with V race's gas: arsenic hydride (arsine), hydrogen phosphide (phosphine), ammonia (ammonia), for example, by hydrogen
Carrier gas stream be carried to and be heated in high temperature substrate, such as gallium arsenide chips, sapphire chip.
At a high temperature of in MOCVD reactor, III race's metallo-organic compound can be heated and thermal cracking, with V race's gas
It carries out gas phase reaction and generates vapor-phase reactant, vapor-phase reactant can diffuse to substrate surface, and be adsorbed in substrate surface, concurrently
Raw surface reaction, the atom for being adsorbed in substrate surface generate the secondary collision between atom and form cluster, cluster and adjacent group
Cluster polymerize and forms epitaxial layer.And the product of surface reaction evaporates parsing, separates with substrate surface desorption.
However often following problems can occur for MOCVD reactor: the generation of gas phase reaction is influenced because of vortex;Because temperature influences
The reaction rate reacted to gas phase reaction and surface;Keep epitaxial deposition uneven because V race's gas is reacted depleted;
Because III race's metallo-organic compound and V race's gas are blended to produce pre-reaction in nozzle head, the product of pre-reaction is deposited on spray
Mouth causes nozzle head to block.
