利用Ge与不同衬底形成的不同晶格失配度来调节有盖层的张应变Ge量子点的光电特性。通过有限元方法模拟并获得张应变Ge量子点内的应变分布,而后通过形变势理论和有效质量近似计算得到量子点的电子结构。与无盖层张应变Ge量子点相比,有盖层Ge量子点能保持更大的应变量。另外,随着量子点尺寸和晶格失配度的增大,导带Γ谷与导带L谷的能量差缩减,最终使Ge转变为直接带隙材料。直接带隙能量随着量子点尺寸的增大而减小。该研究结果表明张应变Ge量子点是制备包含激光器在内的Si基光源的理想材料,在未来光电子应用中有巨大潜力。 相似文献

We have studied the epitaxial growth of self-assembled Ge quantum dots when a submonolayer of carbon is deposited on a Ge wetting layer (WL) prior to the growth of the dots. Using atomic-force microscopy combined with optical techniques like Raman and ellipsometry, we performed a systematic study of the role played by thermally activated Si interdiffusion on dot density, composition and morphology, by changing only the growth temperature T(WL) of the WL. Strikingly, we observe that higher dot densities and a narrower size distribution are achieved by increasing the deposition temperature T(WL), i.e.?by enhancing Si interdiffusion from the substrate. We suggest a two-stage growth procedure for fine tuning of dot topography (density, shape and size) useful for possible optoelectronic applications. 相似文献

In this work, we report on the study of one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) cooperative arrangements of self-assembled Ge dots grown on patterned Si (001) substrates. Selective epitaxial growth (SEG) of Si mesas was first performed to form Si mesas before Ge deposition. Self-assembled growths of Ge dots with variable Ge amount have been carried out. It is found that the cooperative arrangements of Ge dots are dependent on Ge amount deposited. The cooperative arrangements is attributed to the self-regulation of the dot size and position, which is driven by the minimization of the total free energy including strain energy, surface energy and deformation repulsive energy. This cooperative arrangement promoted by the energetically preferential nucleation on Si mesas allows us to control the placement of the self-assembled dots at the specific positions. 相似文献

The phenomenon of surfactant (Sb) mediated formation of Ge/Si(100) islands (quantum dots) by means of molecular beam epitaxy is discussed. The limited diffusivity of Si and Ge adatoms caused by the Sb layer leads to a reduction of the size of Ge islands, the increase in the island density, and the sharpening of the interfaces of Ge islands. Thereby, a thin Sb layer is considered to be a powerful tool that provides more freedom in designing Ge quantum dot features. Ge quantum dots, grown via a thin Sb layer and embedded coherently in a Si p-n junction, are revealed to be the origin of the intense photo- and electroluminescence in the spectral range of about 1.5 μm at room temperature. 相似文献

In this work, we propose a novel method for obtaining high-density Ge-dots/Si multilayered heterostructures. The high-density self-assembled Ge dots are firstly grown on a-Si layer using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), and then low-temperature recrystallized by Ni based metal induced lateral crystallization (MILC). According to optical micrograph, microprobe Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations, it has been found that the Ni induced lateral crystallized Si film has large leaf-like grains elongated along the MILC direction with (110) preference. The strain shift of Ge dots reveals the formation of high quality interface between the crystallized Si and Ge dot. 相似文献

One proposal for a solid-state-based quantum bit (qubit) is to control coupled electron spins on adjacent semiconductor quantum dots. Most experiments have focused on quantum dots made from III-V semiconductors; however, the coherence of electron spins in these materials is limited by hyperfine interactions with nuclear spins. Ge/Si core/shell nanowires seem ideally suited to overcome this limitation, because the most abundant nuclei in Ge and Si have spin zero and the nanowires can be chemically synthesized defect-free with tunable properties. Here, we present a double quantum dot based on Ge/Si nanowires in which we can completely control the coupling between the dots and to the leads. We also demonstrate that charge on the double dot can be detected by coupling it capacitively to an adjacent nanowire quantum dot. The double quantum dot and integrated charge sensor serve as an essential building block to form a solid-state qubit free of nuclear spin. 相似文献

We study the ground state of a hole confined in two vertically coupled GeSi/Si quantum dots as a function of the interdot distance and dot composition within the sp(3) tight-binding approach. Both quantum-mechanical tunneling and inhomogeneous strain distribution are included. For pure Ge dots, the strain is found to have two effects on the hole binding energy: (i)?reduction of the binding energy below the value of the single dot with increasing dot separation and (ii)?molecular bond breaking for intermediate interdot distances and posterior bond restoration at larger distance. Both effects are smeared upon Ge-Si intermixing. 相似文献

The size uniformity of self-assembled SiGe quantum rings, which are formed by capping SiGe quantum dots with a thin Si layer, is found to be greatly influenced by the growth temperature and the areal density of SiGe quantum dots. Higher growth temperature benefits the size uniformity of quantum dots, but results in low Ge concentration as well as asymmetric Ge distribution in the dots, which induces the subsequently formed quantum rings to be asymmetric in shape or even broken somewhere in the ridge of rings. Low growth temperature degrades the size uniformity of quantum dots, and thus that of quantum rings. A high areal density results in the expansion and coalescence of neighboring quantum dots to form a chain, rather than quantum rings. Uniform quantum rings with a size dispersion of 4.6% and an areal density of 7.8×10(8) cm(-2) are obtained at the optimized growth temperature of 640°C. 相似文献

Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) diodes with zero-, one-?or three-layer Ge quantum dots (QDs) embedded in the gate oxide are fabricated for visible to near-ultraviolet photodetection. Ge dots are formed by thermally oxidizing one or three stacks of amorphous Si (a-Si)/polycrystalline-Si(0.87)Ge(0.13)/a-Si multi-layers that are sandwiched by SiO(2) barriers. The current-voltage characteristics of Ge QD MOS diodes exhibit strong rectification in darkness and feature significant current enhancement in the inversion mode when illuminated. Increasing the number of Ge QD layers from zero through one to three in the gate oxide improves the responsivity from 4.64 through 482 to 812?mA?W(-1) and enhances the corresponding quantum efficiency from 1.42 through 148 to 245%, respectively. The spectral response reveals a considerable blueshift in peak energies as the Ge dot size decreases from 9.1 to 5.1?nm, suggesting that the light absorption originates from the quantum confinement effect of Ge QDs. The temperature and bias dependences of the dark current indicate that the carrier transport mechanism involves percolation hopping. 相似文献
