This is a research program on the development of laser-assisted                 chemical vapor deposition (LA-CVD) for the epitaxial growth of II-VI            compound semiconductors.  Focus will be on ZnSe, which has several              important optoelectronic device applications.  LA-CVD should allow              lower growth temperatures and better Stoichiometric control than                conventional techniques, through selective excitation and                       photodissociation of source materials.  Lower temperatures may be               particularly important for the development of techniques for the growth         of device-quality II-VI semiconductor crystals.  The first year of the          research program will be devoted to demonstrating that LA-CVD is a              viable method for growing ZnSe of useful quality by determining the             important parameters and techniques for successful epitaxial                    deposition.  In the second and third years, quantitative kinetic and            mass transport models of the growth process will be developed.                  Detailed characterization of the structual and electrical properties of         the films will be made in order to correlate growth conditions with             electrical characteristics.  The ultimate goal of this program is to            develop a technique for the growth of device quality ZnSe and to                fabricate working p-n junction from this material.
