Molecular Beam Epitaxy

epitaxy">Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is a specialized technique used to grow thin films of materials, often for electronics and photonics. In MBE, beams of atoms or molecules are directed onto a substrate in a vacuum. As these particles land, they bond to the surface, layer by layer, allowing precise control over thickness and composition. This method leads to high-quality materials with unique electronic properties. MBE is crucial in producing semiconductors and other advanced materials used in lasers, solar cells, and computer chips. Its precision makes it an important tool in material science and nanotechnology.
