Temperature control of silicon-germanium alloy epitaxial growth on silicon substrates by infrared transmission
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the application of the technique of infrared transmission to measure the temperature of silicon wafers during the growth of silicon-germanium alloy heteroepitaxial layers in a rapid thermal processing system. The silicon-germanium alloy layers have negligible absorption at 1.3 and 1.55 pm over wide ranges of thickness, composition, and strain condition. The substantial improvement of the uniformity of layers grown using the technique to measure the temperature for feedback control of the lamp power has also been demonstrated.

Taper-free and kinked germanium nanowires grown on silicon via purging and the two-temperature process.
We investigate the growth procedures for achieving taper-free and kinked germanium nanowires epitaxially grown on silicon substrates by chemical vapor deposition. Singly and multiply kinked germanium nanowires consisting of <111> segments were formed by employing a reactant gas purging process. Unlike non-epitaxial kinked nanowires, a two-temperature process is necessary to maintain the taper-f...

We investigate low-temperature epitaxial growth of thin silicon films by HWCVD on Si w1 0 0x substrates and polycrystalline template layers formed by selective nucleation and solid phase epitaxy (SNSPE). We have grown 300-nm thick epitaxial layers at 300 8C on silicon w1 0 0x substrates using a high H :SiH ratio of 70:1. Transmission electron microscopy confirms that the 2 4 films are epitaxial...
