Abstract
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.
