Molecular beam epitaxy
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is an epitaxy method for thin-film deposition of single crystals. It was invented in the late 1960s at Bell Telephone Laboratories by J. R. Arthur and Alfred Y. Cho. MBE is widely used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, including transistors for cellular phones and WiFi.
