MBE molecular beam epitaxy equipment
Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) thin-film growth equipment—Molecular Beam Epitaxy MBE—enables epitaxial growth on certain substrates, allowing for the fabrication of molecular self-assembled structures, superlattices, quantum wells, one-dimensional nanowires, and more. It can also be used for process verification and the growth and fabrication of epitaxial wafers for both second-generation and third-generation semiconductors. During thin-film epitaxial growth, Molecular Beam Epitaxy equipment provides an ultra-high vacuum environment, enabling epitaxial growth under ideal conditions. This eliminates various interfering factors during film growth, resulting in high-precision thin films with exceptional accuracy.

Molecular Beam Epitaxy Thin-Film Growth Equipment (MBE) (Molecular Beam Epitaxy MBE) This equipment enables epitaxial growth on certain substrates, allowing for the fabrication of molecular self-assembled structures, superlattices, quantum wells, and one-dimensional nanowires. It can also be used for process verification of second-generation and third-generation semiconductors, as well as for the growth and fabrication of epitaxial wafers.

Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) thin-film growth equipment features an ultra-high vacuum environment during thin-film epitaxial growth, enabling epitaxial film growth under ideal conditions. This allows the system to eliminate various interfering factors that might otherwise affect film growth, thus producing high-precision thin films with exceptional accuracy.

The molecular beam epitaxy thin-film growth experimental equipment designed and manufactured by our company comes in two types: experimental and production models. It features a reasonable configuration, a simple structure, convenient operation, advanced technology, reliable performance, versatile applications, strong practicality, and a relatively low price. It is suitable for use in university laboratories and research institutions as teaching experiments, scientific research, and process development in the field of molecular beam epitaxy.Production-oriented MBE can be used for the preparation of small-batch epitaxial wafers.

Functional Features
In 2005, this project was the first in China to complete the R&D, design, and manufacturing of a fully domestically produced MBE system, achieving independent control and controllability.
Core components include an independently designed MBE ultra-high vacuum epitaxial growth chamber, process control system and software, RHEED in-situ real-time online monitoring instrument, linear electron gun, high-temperature beam source furnace, beam source furnace power supply, high-temperature sample stage, and film thickness meter (capable of measuring the number of molecular layers grown epitaxially).
It enables epitaxial growth of both second-generation semiconductors (such as gallium arsenide) and third-generation semiconductors (such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride).
After more than two decades of process exploration and continuous equipment upgrades, we have now developed the capability to design, manufacture, and produce commercial MBE equipment. Our equipment features a rational configuration, a simple structure, advanced technology, reliable performance, versatile applications, strong practicality, and an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
