Popis: A fast automatic ellipsometer is associated with an organometallic CVD system for a surface analysis of GaAlAs/GaAs heterostructures during their growth. The capabilities of the ellipsometer are first illustrated: a real time determination of the rate growth and the chemical composition of the layers is obtained. Alternate grwoth of Ga0.64Al0.36As and GaAs layers is examined under various conditions. Interface anomalies are observed when GaAlAs is grown on GaAs while GaAs growth on (Ga,Al)As yields very sharp junctions. These results are compared with recent TEM observations on MBE (GaAs)n-(AlAs)m superlattices.
