This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present comprehensive experimental results on the fashion in which the Ge(001) surface roughens as a function of film thickness, deposition temperature, and substrate miscut. The results allow us to write empirical expressions for feature spacing and roughness amplitude of the growing surface over a wide range of film thicknesses and deposition temperatures. We show that layer-by-layer growth on a singular surface in the presence of a small Ehrlich-Schwoebel leads to mound formation, and, from our experimental results, we extract an activation energy for the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier of $rm Esb{ES}approx 1meV$ for Ge(001). The effect of the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier does not diminish with an increase in deposition temperature, and hence the transition of the growth mode from multilayer to step flow is due to the competing process of smoothing becoming the dominant mechanism. Deposition on a vicinal surface miscut in the (011) results in the formation of elongated mounds bounded by ${105}$ facets. Thin $rm Sisb{0.5}Gesb{0.5}/Ge(001)$ films deposited in the presence of tensile strain result in the formation of Shockley partial misfit dislocations and a subsequent stacking fault. The stacking faults extend to the film surface, where they impede step flow. This results in step bunching and the formation of rectangular mounds on the surface. Annealing these films results in an inversion of the mounds into pits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the formation of epitaxial III-Nitrides and epitaxial Ge3N4 on germanium substrates--and solid phase epitaxy of germanium on silicon substrates--this work presents a simple but effective method for growing epitaxial III-Nitride layers on crystalline germanium surfaces. Beside epitaxial III-Nitride growth, a method is introduced to obtain epitaxial Ge3N4 on germanium. Finally a novel method to produce high-quality germanium layers on silicon is introduced, allowing interactions between germanium devices and silicon technology. This study provides researchers with a detailed look at the formation of crystalline nitrides on germanium, germanium on silicon, Schottky contacts on germanium, and electrochemical measurements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biaxial strain in coherent GeSi layers grown on Si substrates provides a powerful tool for tailoring bandgaps and band offsets. Extremely high electron and hole mobilities have been obtained in modulation-doped GeSi strained layer heterostructures. Ultra-high-speed Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors and MODFETs, and long wavelength (1 to 20 micrometre) IR Detectors have been fabricated using these layers. Quantum wells, ultra-thin period superlattices, and quantum dots can also be fabricated using the strained layers. These devices were previously implemented using III-V semiconductors. Now they can be fabricated using existing Si technology, which is mature and reliable. GeSi strained layer technology has made it possible to manufacture monolithic Si integrated circuits containing heterojunction devices.

This book was released on 1994 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth rate R of Si(001), Ge(001), and $\rm Si\sb{1-x}Ge\sb{x}(001)$ films deposited on Si(001)2 $\times$ 1 substrates from $\rm Si\sb2H\sb6$ and $\rm Ge\sb2H\sb6$ by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy (GS-MBE) were determined as a function of temperature T$\sb{\rm s}$(300-950$\sp\circ$C) and impingement flux J (0.3-$7.7\times10\sp{16}$ cm$\sp{-2}$ s$\sp{-1}$). R(T$\sb{\rm s}$,J) curves for Si and Ge films were well described using a model, with no fitting parameters, based upon dissociative chemisorption followed by a series of surface decomposition reactions with the rate-limiting step being first-order hydrogen desorption from the surface monohydride. The hydrogen desorption activation energy for Si and Ge surfaces were found to be 2.04 eV and 1.56 eV, respectively. The zero-coverage reactive sticking probability in the impingement-flux-limited growth regime was found to be 0.036 and 0.052 for $\rm Si\sb2H\sb6$ and $\rm Ge\sb2H\sb6,$ respectively. The growth rate of SiGe alloys R$\sb{\rm SiGe}$ as a function of the bulk Ge content x was found to be a complex. In the surface-reaction-limited regime, R$\sb{\rm SiGe}$ increased with Ge surface coverage $\theta\sb{\rm Ge}$ due to the lower activation energy of H$\sb2$ desorption from Ge than from Si. However, in the impingement-flux-limited regime R$\sb{\rm SiGe}$ decreases with $\theta\sb{\rm Ge}$ due to the lower reactive sticking probability of $\rm Si\sb2H\sb6$ on Ge surface sites with respect to on Si sites. The Ge fraction, x1$\sb{\rm Ge}$, of SiGe alloys was determined as a function of growth temperature T$\sb{\rm s}$ and incident flux ratios $\rm J\sb{Ge2H6}/J\sb{Si2H6}.$ The results were explained by a kinetic model accounting for four simultaneous reaction pathways: reaction of $\rm Si\sb2H\sb6$ with Si surface sites, $\rm Si\sb2H\sb6$ with Ge sites, $\rm Ge\sb2H\sb6$ with Si sites, and $\rm Ge\sb2H\sb6$ with Ge sites. The cross-term reactive sticking probabilities, $\rm S\sbsp{Ge2H6}{Si}$ and $\rm S\sbsp{Si2H6}{Ge}$, were estimated to be 0.33 and $5.2\times10\sp{-3}$ respectively.
