ABSTRACT:
A vacuum chemical epitaxy apparatus comprising a first mixing chamber having an inlet for introducing a metal-organic gaseous materials and n-type and p-type dopants, and a plurality of outlets for directing the flow of said metal-organic gases and n-type and p-type dopants toward a substrate; a second mixing chamber disposed below said first chamber having an inlet for introducing a metal-organic gaseous material and n-type and p-type dopants, and a plurality of passages through said first chamber and an outlet for each passage, wherein the passage outlets are in substantially the same plane with the outlets of the first chamber; and means for exhausting the metal-organic gaseous materials and n-type and p-type dopants from the second chamber.
