摘要

Using a low temperature/high temperature strategy, we have grown thin (0.27 μm) and thick (2.45 μm) Ge layers on Si(001) substrates that we have submitted to various constant temperature (750 ℃) or cyclic (750 ℃/890 ℃) H_2 anneals, the objective being to identify those yielding the smoothest surfaces, the lowest threading dislocations densities (TDDs) and the highest near infra-red optical absorptions. The best trade-off for thin layers was 750 ℃, 60 min H_2 anneals. Using longer duration 750 ℃ anneals and especially 750 ℃/890 ℃ cyclic anneals indeed yielded rougher surfaces and vastly degraded optical absorption (deleterious formation of GeSi alloys). By contrast, short 750 ℃/890 ℃ thermal cyclings yielded the best metrics in thick Ge layers (while being at the same time the best in terms of throughput): root mean square surface roughness around 0.8 nm, TDD around 10~7 cm~(-2), slightly tensily-strained layers (which a plus for optical absorption as the absorption edge is shifted to higher wavelengths), a limited penetration of Si into Ge (and thus absorption coefficients at 1.3 and 1.55 μm almost equal to those of as-grown layers), etc. We have also described the low temperature (450 ℃/525 ℃) process that we have developed to passivate Ge surfaces thanks to SiH_4 prior to gate stack deposition. Si layer thickness should be below 20 A in order to have conformal deposition. A transition of the growth front to 3 dimensions has indeed been evidenced for 20 A and higher.
