Real-time monitoring microscopic imaging system for nitride MOCVD epitaxial growth mode

摘要

A real-time monitoring microscopic imaging system for nitride MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) epitaxial growth mode includes an observation window, an imaging lens set, a CCD (charge coupled device) camera, an image capture card and an image storage and display device, wherein: the observation window is provided at a top portion of a graphite carrier in an MOCVD reaction chamber and is formed by a thicker quartz glass to prevent temperature in the reaction chamber from damaging the lenses. The microscopic imaging system has the resolution better than 1 μm, is able to distinguish the 2D growth mode and the 3D growth mode, observe whether the surface of the epitaxial wafer has screw dislocations in the MOCVD process, so as to observe the growth mode of the MOCVD epitaxial wafer in real time during the growth process.
