Investigation of Ge-Si Atomic Interdiffusion in Ge Nano-dots Multilayer Structure by Double Crystal X-ray Diffraction

The fluctuations of the strained layer in a superlattice or quantum well can broaden the width of satellite peaks in double crystal X-ray diffraction （DCXRD） pattern. It is found that the width of the 0^th peak is directly proportional to the fluctuation of the strained layer if the other related facts are ignored. By this method, the Ge-Si atomic interdiffusion in Ge nano-dots and wetting layers has been investigated by DCXRD. It is found that thermal annealing can activate Ge-Si atomic interdiffusion and the interdiffusion in the nano-dots area is much stronger than that in the wetting layer area. Therefore the fluctuation of the Ge layer decreases and the distribution of Ge atoms becomes homogeneous in the horizontal Ge （GeSi actually） layer, which make the width of the 0^th peak narrow after annealing.

Effect of composition on deep levels in heteroepitaxial GexSi1−x layers and evidence for dominant intrinsic recombination-Generation in relaxed ge layers on Si

Electron traps, hole traps, and the dominant recombination-generation (R-G) centers have been investigated with deep level transient spectroscopy and current-voltage/temperature measurements in heteroepitaxial Ge_xSi_1-x alloys with x ranging from 0.15 to 1, grown on graded Ge_y.Si_1−y/Si substrates. For all samples with compositions x < 0.85, which retain the Si-like conduction band structure, we detect a dominant electron trap and R-G center whose activation energy is ΔE = 0.5 eV, independent of composition. This energy agrees with that of electron traps previously reported for plastically deformed (PD) Si, suggesting a connection to the Si-like band structure. This 0.5 eV level dominates the reverse leakage current over a wide range of growth and annealing conditions for the 30% Ge samples, indicating that the electronic state at ΔE = 0.5 eV is a very efficient R-G center, as would be expected from its midgap position. Alternatively, for strain relaxed, pure Ge (< 1), we detect electron traps at E_c − 0.42 eV and E_c − 0.28 eV, in agreement with the literature on PD Ge and Ge bicrystals. These energies are significantly different from those observed for x < 0.85, and we conclude that these changes in activation energy are due to changes in the conduction band structure for high Ge content. Moreover, in contrast with the Si-like samples (x < 0.85), the reverse leakage current in the relaxed Ge cap layer is not controlled by deep levels, but is rather dictated by intrinsic, band-to-band generation due to the reduced bandgap of Ge as compared to Si-like alloys. Only for reverse bias magnitudes which incorporate a significant portion of the graded buffer within the depletion region do R-G centers dominate the reverse leakage current. These results confirm the high quality of the strain-relaxed, pure Ge cap region which was grown on a Ge_ySi_1−y/Si step graded heterostructure (where y was increased from 0 to 1) by ultra high vacuum chemical vapor deposition. Finally, we report for the first time, what is apparently the dislocation kink site state at E_c − 0.37 eV, in a Ge_xSi_1−x alloy.
