Abstract

We have continued our investigation1 of the effects of pre—deposition substrate annealing for the case of MBE grown silicon on sapphire. Three identical series of samples were grown with film thicknesses ranging between 65 and 1500 angstroms. Each series of samples was grown upon sapphire which had been annealed at either 1450ºC, 1300ºC, or 900ºC. The growth temperature and growth rate were the same for each series. The anneal time for each sample was 30 minutes.
