<p>A method of monitoring surface layer growth using light scattered off a surface illuminated e.g. by a laser. A small area of a surface of a substrate is illuminated and the light scattered in a non-specular direction is detected during cleaning and subsequent layer growth. The amount of light scattered varies strongly with surface characteristics and gives clear indication of the end of oxide removal, initiation of nucleation and quality of growing layers. The monitoring is used during e.g. chemical vapour deposition, or e.g. molecular beam epitaxy growth processes.</p> |
