Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Systems

Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is a precise manufacturing technique used to create thin layers of materials, often semiconductors, at the atomic level. In this process, beams of molecules are directed onto a heated surface in a vacuum, allowing them to settle and form ordered layers. This enables the production of high-quality materials with specific electrical, optical, and structural properties, essential for advanced electronics and optics, such as transistors and lasers. MBE provides exceptional control over thickness and composition, making it a crucial method in material science and nanotechnology.
