On increasing the homogeneity of the properties of epitaxial layers grown from the gas phase, taking into account natural convection and changes in the rate of chemical interaction between materials

Abstract

In this paper, using the recently introduced analytical approach for the analysis of mass and heat transfer during film growth in reactors for epitaxy from the gas phase, these processes are analyzed taking into account natural convection and the possibility of changing the rate of chemical interaction between reagents. As a result of the analysis, the conditions under which the homogeneity of the grown epitaxial layers increases with a change in the values of the parameters of the growth process are formulated.
