To meet the demand for economical production of the raw material - thi
n film structures of ferroelectrics - we developed a metalorganic vapo
r phase epitaxy (MOVPE) reactor for the deposition of the material fil
ms on a large substrate area (total substrate area of 0.25 square mete
rs). By rotating the wafers, the growth rate along the direction of fl
ow is averaged to produce uniform films with an expected variation of
less than +/-1.5% in composition and +/-2% in thickness across an area
with a diameter of 10 inches.
