Effect of a cap layer on morphological stability of a strained epitaxial film
A strained epitaxial film often undergoes surface roughening during growth and subsequent processes. One possible means to reduce roughening so as to produce an epitaxial film with a flat surface is to deposit an oxide cap layer on the film to suppress the kinetic process of roughening. This paper analyzes the effect of a cap layer on the stability of an epitaxial film and the kinectics of roug...
متن کاملEffect of Non-Hydrostatic Stress on Kinetics and Interfacial Roughness during Solid Phase Epitaxial Growth in Si
We report preliminary in-situ time-resolved measurements of the effect of uniaxial stress on solid phase epitaxial growth in pure Si (001) for the case of stress applied parallel to the amorphous-crystal interface. The growth rate is reduced by the application of uniaxial compression, in agreement with previous results. Additionally, the velocity continues to decrease with time. This is consist...
متن کاملHybrid surface roughening modes during low-temperature heteroepitaxy: Growth of fully-strained metastable Ge12xSnx alloys on Ge„001...231
Fully-strained single-crystal metastable Ge12xSnx alloys were grown on Ge~001! up to their critical epitaxial thickness values tepi(x) in order to probe surface roughening pathways leading to heteroepitaxial breakdown during low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy under large compressive strain. All films with x.0.09 have comparable roughnesses while films with x,0.09 are considerably rougher wi...
متن کاملSurface morphological evolution of epitaxial CrN„001... layers
CrN layers, 57 and 230 nm thick, were grown on MgO 001 at Ts=600–800 °C by ultrahigh-vacuum magnetron sputter deposition in pure N2 discharges from an oblique deposition angle =80°. Layers grown at 600 °C nucleate as single crystals with a cube-on-cube epitaxial relationship with the substrate. However, rough surfaces with cauliflower-type morphologies cause the nucleation of misoriented CrN gr...
متن کاملDynamic Scaling in Epitaxial Growth
In this article I provide a brief theoretical perspective on our current understanding of the dynamic scaling phenomena in nonequilibrium epitaxial growth with the emphasis on the extensively studied ultrahigh vacuum thin film deposition growth, such as MBE growth, where the main growth front smoothening mechanism competing against the surface kinetic roughening induced by inherent shot noise f...
