摘要

The growth of self organized fully strained Ge dots is accomplished by using a two step process which consists of depositing Ge dots on a periodic unidirectional undulated Si_(1-x)GE_x (118) template layer. The main reason for this methodology is to make use of the stress driven step bunching that develops on a (118) surface (10 deg off (001)). In this report we concentrate on the growth mechanism of Ge on the Si_(1-x)Ge_x template layer. RHEED and TEM measurements were used to determine the 2D-3D growth transition as a function of Ge coverage. We find that the onset of the 3D island formation changes from 4 to 7 ML on the (001) and (118) surfaces, respectively. While 3D islands are mainly isotropic on Si (001) they elongate along the step edge direction on misoriented surfaces with a reduction of their lateral size in one direction. AFM measurements are presented which show the wire shaped Ge islands on the top of the Si_(1-x)Ge_x (118) template undulation with improved size homogeneity. The correlation-length of the undulation is mainly controlled by the Ge content of the Si_(1-x)Ge_x layer, for example 20 nm large islands are grown on the top of Si_(0.6)Ge_(0.4)(118). Low temperature photoluminescence spectra are also described which show the evolution of features associated with the Si_(1-x)Ge_x template layer for Ge coverage between 1 and 6 ML. Dramatic changes of the photo-luminescence spectra were found for a Ge coverage of 7 ML, the dominant band seen for that coverage is shown to be related to 3D island formation. The influence of the growth conditions on the PL results is also discussed.
