The investigation of selective pre-pattern free self-assembled Ge nano-dot formed by excimer laser annealing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Localized Ge nano-dot formation by laser treatment was investigated and discussed in terms of strain distribution. The advantage of this technique is patterning localization of nano-dots without selective epitaxial growth, reducing costs and improving throughput. Self-assembled Ge nano-dots produced by excimer laser annealing statistically distributed dot density and size dependent on laser energy. Improvement in the crystallization quality of the dots was also studied, and a strain analysis was undertaken.

Study of Extended Defect Structure Induced by Pulsed Laser Annealing in Implanted Silicon Crystals
An analysis of extended defects generated during annealing by pulsed excimer laser radiation in silicon crystals implanted with Ge ions is presented. The investigation was performed by means of two complementary methods: the interference-polarizing microscopy and the Lang X-ray transmission topography. The existence of extended defects was revealed. It has been stated that the distribution of t...
متن کاملMemory Properties of Ge quantum dots and rings MOS structure prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition
New memory structures using threshold shifting from charge stored in quantum dots (QDs) and quantum rings (QRs) of Germanium (Ge) are described. The QDs and QRs of Ge were prepared on a p-Si (100) matrix by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using the droplet technique combined with rapid annealing. The perfect planar nanorings with welldefined sharp inner and outer edges were formed via an...

The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملRaman characterization of strain and composition in small-sized self-assembled SiÕGe dots
A detailed Raman characterization of the structural properties of as-grown and annealed self-assembled Si/Ge dot multilayers is reported in this paper. Several new modes in as-grown or annealed Si/Ge dots and a frequency splitting of 4.2 cm between the longitudinal ~LO! and transversal optical ~TO! Ge-Ge modes in as-grown Si/Ge dots are observed in Raman spectra. An average Ge content of 0.8 an...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Phase-Change Heat Transfer for Laser-Assisted Direct Nano Imprint Processing
The melting duration and molten depth are key information for Laser-Assisted Direct Imprinting, which raises the issue of the melting & solidification induced by excimer-pulse-laser shining through unilaterally transparent binary materials. Based on the matured laser-annealing analysis, the thermal-contact resistance is taken into account to simulate and predict the melting behavior for this pr...
