Self-Organization of Ripples and Islands with SiGe-MBE
We explored two methods to obtain laterally ordered Ge/Si quantum dot arrays. For the first we exploit the two independent growth instabilities of the SiGe/Si(001) hetero-system, namely kinetic step bunching and Stranski-Krastanov (SK) island growth, to implement a two-stage growth scheme for the fabrication of long-range ordered SiGe islands. The second approach is to deposit Ge/SiGe onto prep...
متن کاملThe Surface Proximity Effect on the Formation of Extended Defects in Ion Beam Synthesised SiGe/Si Heterostructures
The relaxation of ion beam synthesised SiGe alloys occurs during solid phase epitaxial growth (SPEG) by a roughening of the amorphous/crystalline (a/c) interface, leading to the formation of extended defects. SiGe/Si structures have been formed by implantation of Ge+ ions at energies of 70 keV and 400 keV and doses above the critical valae for strain relaxation, followed by post-amorphisation t...
متن کاملA Differential Hall Effect method with sub-nanometre resolution for active dopant concentration profiling in ultra-thin Si 1-x Ge x and Si doped layers
In this paper, we present an enhanced Differential Hall Effect method (DHE) for Si and SiGe ultrathin layers for the investigation of dopant activation in the surface region with sub-nanometre resolution. In the case of SiGe case, which constitutes the most challenging process, we show the reliability of the SC1 chemical solution (NH4OH:H2O2:H2O) thanks to its slow etch rate, stoichiometry cons...
متن کاملDose Rate Dependence of Residual Defects in Device Grade Si/SiGe Heterostructures formed by Ion Beam Synthesis
AbstmctThe influence of germanium ion current density on the residual defects in ion implanted Si/SiGe heterostructures is investigated. Data from (100) silicon wafers implanted with 4OOkeV 9 ~ 1 0 ' ~ Ge+/cm2 shows that both the nature and concentration profile of residual defects below the amorphised silicon surface layer are highly sensitive to the Ge+ current density. Dose rates in the rang...
متن کاملAccurate depth profiling of oxidized SiGe (intrinsic or doped) thin films by extended Full Spectrum ToF-SIMS
Precise depth profiling of the various elements present in Si/SiGe heterostructures is crucial in order to optimize the electrical properties of devices. The condensation technique allows the Ge enrichment of low Ge content SiGe layers by a selective oxidation of Si compared to Ge [1]. It can be used to obtain Ge nanowires for the elaboration of high performance devices [2]. Saracco et al. prop...
