EPITAXIAL GROWTH TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN LED MANUFACTURE

摘要

Apparatus and method for control of epitaxial growth temperatures during manufacture of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Embodiments include measurement of a substrate and/or carrier temperature during a recipe stabilization period; determination of a temperature drift based on the measurement; and modification of a growth temperature based on a temperature offset determined in response to the temperature drift exceeding a threshold criteria. In an embodiment, a statistic derived from a plurality of pyrometric measurements made during the recipe stabilization over several runs is employed to offset each of a set of growth temperatures utilized to form a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure.
