A method of sensing the concentration of a doped impurity on a semiconductor in real time and a method of sensing the change of its growth rate dependent on time among the changes of the growing conditions due to doping by using a real time analysis apparatus in growing a heterostructured semiconductor by a MOCVD method. A reflecting signal during the growth by means of a real time analysis apparatus has a periodic property, an amplitude change of a reflecting signal is dependent on an absorption coefficient when an absorption exists on an epitaxial layer, an impurity concentration can be obtained by using the relation of an absorption coefficient and an impurity concentration. In addition, if each peak is independently analyzed, the respective growth rate dependent on time are measured individually, so that the reduced growth rate dependent on time of the growth rate is sensed in a carbon doped AlAs layer.

A method for sensing the completion of removal of an oxide layer from a semiconductor substrate or a super conductor by a thermal etching in real time. In the method, the time of removal of the oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate or the super conductor can ben accurately sensed. According to the method, when an oxide layer which is different from the semiconductor substrate in the refractive index is being thermally etched at a high temperature, the reflected signals of the laser beams forms a periodicity, and this periodicity is utilized so as to determine the etching rate and the time of the completion of the etching.

A method for growing a thin InGaAs or InAlAs layer with heavy lattice mismatching on a GaAs substrate by a MOCVD process is described. A first material gas is injected by a MOCVD process to grow a buffer layer on a GaAs substrate to a prescribed thickness. After stopping the injection of the first material gas for a few seconds, a second material gas containing a column III element is injected at a prescribed temperature. A third material gas containing a column V element is injected to grow, on the buffer layer, a thin metallic layer of a binary compound containing the column III element of a high concentration to a thickness of 2 nm or less. After a prescribed time from the injection of the third material gas, In and Ga gases or In and Al gases, mixed in the prescribed proportion are injected in an atmosphere of said third material gas to grow a thin InGaAs or InAlAs layer on the thin metallic layer.

The method of manufacturing VCSEL composed of multiple material layers uses a main measuring laser having same wavelength of that of VCSEL so as to estimate the growth periods required for growing a predetermined thickness of the material layers by analyzing the reflected signal of the main measuring laser and then control the growth time durations of subsequent material layers. This method eliminates the need of pre-knowledge of refractive indexes and the growing speeds of the material layers. Also, an interruptive process for measuring thickness, growth speed or refractive indexes can be omitted so as to perform the entire epitaxial growth in-situ and thus improve the reproducibility and the uniformity. In addition, a subsidiary measuring laser may be used other than the main measuring laser for improving the accuracy of the control of growth time duration, where the subsidiary measuring laser has a different wavelength from that of VCSEL. The subsidiary measuring laser may be used especially in the case of fabricating the VCSEL without any buffer layer.

The present invention is related to a surface transmission-type optical switch of the 1-D array method, and more particularly to a surface transmission-type optical switch, which is manufactured by Fabry-perot type not to need optical waveguides and integrated only by amplifiers of the space division multiplex. A surface transmission-type optical switch according to the present invention is a structure to overlap 3 optical amplifiers for optical switching, and an incoming signal beam is amplified through the first optical amplifier and becomes an n×n amplifiers of a matrix type with the second signal amplification, passing through the second optical amplifier overlapped on the first amplifier. Amplified signal beams through 2 amplifiers perform n×n matrix switching through the third amplifier, and go out to the opposite side of the incoming surface. Characteristics of a surface-type Fabry perot type structure is that selective amplification is possible, by selecting only one wavelength in multiple wavelengths as the gain bandwidth is 5 nm or less.

A Bragg reflector with a uniform thickness is fabricated by means of an in-situ laser reflectometer. In order to fabricate the Bragg reflector, a plurality of buffer layers are formed on a semiconductor substrate. Then, first and second epitaxial layers are alternatively grown on the buffer layers. While growing the epitaxial layers, the thickness of the first and second epitaxial layers are continuously measured by using a laser beam having the same wavelength as a reflective wavelength of the Bragg reflector. In this way, the thickness of the Bragg reflector is precisely controlled according to the measurements, so that the Bragg reflector may be fabricated uniformly with a predetermined thickness.

An apparatus for monitoring a film growth is disclosed, in which, when a crystalline thin film is grown by applying an MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method), the variation of the thickness and composition due to certain factors can be detected with real time during the film growing process, and an in-situ adjustment is possible. As the optical detector for detecting two sets of reflected beams which are reflected from the film, a silicon detector and a germanium detector are used, the former being suitable for detecting short wavelength laser beams, and the latter being suitable for detecting long wavelength laser beams. Thus two different wavelengths are detected with real time, thereby measuring the thickness and composition of the film.
