Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for vapor deposition includes monitoring of growth of semiconductor layer by way of in-situ monitoring. According to the invention in-situ, monitoring is performed by irradiating light beam onto the surface of the growing layer in a direction nearly perpendicular to the surface. Growth parameters of the layer can be detected by monitoring variation of the light reflected by the surface of the layer. Growth condition in vapor deposition chamber is feedback controlled based on the detected growth parameter.
