Highly tensile-strained Ge/InAlAs nanocomposites
Self-assembled nanocomposites have been extensively investigated due to the novel properties that can emerge when multiple material phases are combined. Growth of epitaxial nanocomposites using lattice-mismatched constituents also enables strain-engineering, which can be used to further enhance material properties. Here, we report self-assembled growth of highly tensile-strained Ge/In0.52Al0.48...
متن کاملScanning X-ray strain microscopy of inhomogeneously strained Ge micro-bridges
Strained semiconductors are ubiquitous in microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems, where high local stress levels can either be detrimental for their integrity or enhance their performance. Consequently, local probes for elastic strain are essential in analyzing such devices. Here, a scanning X-ray sub-microprobe experiment for the direct measurement of deformation over large areas ...
متن کاملThermoelectric transport in strained Si and Si/Ge heterostructures.
The anisotropic thermoelectric transport properties of bulk silicon strained in the [111]-direction were studied by detailed first-principles calculations focusing on a possible enhancement of the power factor. Electron and hole doping were examined in a broad doping and temperature range. At low temperature and low doping an enhancement of the power factor was obtained for compressive and tens...
متن کاملSimulation of Boron Diffusion in Strained Sil-,Ge, Epitaxial Layers
This paper describes a simple and accurate model for boron diffusion in SiGe that was successfully implemented in TAURUS (PMEI). The comparison of the Si,.,Ge, samples to the Si samples after rapid thermal and furnace annealing revealed a retarded B diffusion inside the strained Sil.,Ge, layers. The influence of the Ge content on the dopant diffusion was also measured and simulated, demonstrati...
متن کاملRTbox: a device for highly accurate response time measurements.
Although computer keyboards and mice are frequently used in measuring response times (RTs), the accuracy of these measurements is quite low. Specialized RT collection devices must be used to obtain more accurate measurements. However, all the existing devices have some shortcomings. We have developed and implemented a new, commercially available device, the RTbox, for highly accurate RT measure...
