Abstract
A process for manufacturing precise alloy compositions in nonlinear alloy systems. The invention implements a new quadratic fitting function that relates alloy composition c.sub.A for a variable A to input fluxes f.sub.A and f.sub.B, as c.sub.A =f.sub.A.sup.2 /(f.sub.A.sup.2 +/.beta.f.sub.B.sup.2). .beta. is a parameter that is used to modify the incorporation of the Group V input variable B. This modification is necessary because of different surface populations of Group V dimer species. This new fitting function precisely predicts alloy compositions in nonlinear systems, such as the GaAs.sub.l-y P.sub.y system, where y is set equal to the composition c.sub.A.
