Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)
The Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) system is termed as an ultra-high vacuum technique for the layer-by-layer (epitaxial) deposition of thin films. The technique is exclusively used for the development of very high purity III-V semiconductors where the thickness of layers can be measured with sub-monolayer accuracy. The system contains six solid source effusion cells and 2 RF plasma gas sources. It is exclusively used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices like transistors, and known as a fundamental tool for the development of the nanotechnologies. Moreover, it is a valuable system in the development of urbane optoelectronic and electronic devices and MBE growth of semiconductor layers are essential for resonant-cavity photodetectors.

Moreover, it is a valuable system in the development of urbane optoelectronic and electronic devices and MBE growth of semiconductor layers are essential for resonant-cavity photodetectors.
The major manufacturers of MBE systems on the market include Veeco in the United States, Riber in France and DCA in Finland. There are many manufacturers of normal molecular beam epitaxy products, such as Veeco, Riber and Sienta Omicron. Manufacturers of laser MBE systems mainly include Pascal in Japan and Prevac in Poland. At present, the normal molecular beam epitaxy system occupies the main sales market, with a market share of about 74%.
The molecular beam epitaxy system is mainly used in the research process of semiconductors and basic materials. The main consumer countries of MBE systems are countries with relatively complete industrial systems such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and China. These regions occupy more than 80% of the global market.
