| Abstract: | UHVCVD-grown Si/Si1- xGex/Si heterostructure was investigated by Photoreflectance spectroscopy (PR). The principle of PR used in semiconductor film was thoroughly described. According to the E1 transition energy in the Si1- xGex alloy, the Ge content in SiGe film with constant composition can be accurately characterized. In this study, determine the composition uniformity of larger diameter SiGe epiwafer by PR mapping technique was determined. These results show PR is very promising for Si1- xGex epilayer characterization with constant Ge content and can provide film measurements for production-worthy line monitor. |
