TNL-MBE simulator, the process conditions are set by one or more molecular beams from effusion cells directed at a substrate. An effusion cell contains a heated crucible with source material that sublimates or evaporates to form a molecular beam.
Users can choose from various elemental effusion sources, with each crucible heated to produce neutral atomic and molecular beams in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment, preventing interactions among them. The TNL-MBE simulator optimizes the process, allowing precise control over thickness, alloy composition, and impurity levels (doping).
When atoms or molecules reach the substrate, they may become physisorbed (weakly attached) or chemisorbed (strongly bonded). For integration into the lattice, atoms must chemisorb at an epitaxial site and form bulk-like bonds. The incorporation rate indicates how quickly this occurs. Atoms and molecules can migrate on the surface, desorb into the vacuum, or enter the crystal structure, and reactions between adatoms may also occur, impacting larger molecule disintegration.
