Abstract

A multi scale analysis by combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and wide stripe selective area growth (SAG) analysis has been employed to elucidate GaAs MOVPE process at 600 °C. It can extract major route to deposit films and related kinetic information, experimentally. The CFD simulation reproduced the macro scale variation of GaAs growth rate along the flow direction. The major rate-limiting step was the mass transport of the group III species. By analyzing the micro scale growth rate profile in SAG, the value of surface reaction rate constant (ks) has been obtained. The value of ks varied along the flow direction, suggesting that the surface reaction is not a simple first-order reaction of an intermediate species. The profile of ks along the flow direction suggested the contribution of trimethyl-gallium (TMGa) itself to the surface reaction and the effect of by-products.
