摘要

Space-charge spectroscopy has been used to study the hole energy spectrum of an array of Ge quantum dots (QD's) coherently embedded in a Si matrix and subjected to a ruby laser (λ=694 nm) nanosecond irradiation ex situ. The laser energy density in a single pulse was near the melting threshold of the Si surface. The number of laser pulses was varied from 1 to 10, and the duration of each pulse was 80 ns. From the capacitance-voltage characteristics, temperature- and frequency-dependent admittance measurements, the energies of holes confined in Ge QD's were determined. The pulsed laser annealing was found to result in a deepening of the hole energy level relative to the bulk Si valence band edge and in a decrease of the hole energy dispersion. After the treatment with ten laser pulses, the spread of the hole energies due to varying sizes of the QD's within the ensemble was reduced by a factor of about 2. The obtained results give evidence for a substantial reduction of the QD's size dispersion and for a narrowing distribution of the hole energy levels stimulated by nanosecond laser irradiation. A possible explanation of the improved uniformity of QD's sizes involves dissolving small size Ge QD's in a Si matrix by pulsed laser melting of the Ge nanoclusters and their subsequent intermixing with surrounding solid Si.
