Ordered GeSi nanorings grown on patterned Si (001) substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
An easy approach to fabricate ordered pattern using nanosphere lithography and reactive iron etching technology was demonstrated. Long-range ordered GeSi nanorings with 430 nm period were grown on patterned Si (001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The size and shape of rings were closely associated with the size of capped GeSi quantum dots and the Si capping processes. Statistical analysis on the lateral size distribution shows that the high growth temperature and the long-term annealing can improve the uniformity of nanorings.PACS code1·PACS code2·moreMathematics Subject Classification (2000) MSC code1·MSC code2·more.

Growth of GeSi nanoislands on nanotip-patterned Si (100) substrates with a stress-induced self-limiting interdiffusion
GeSi nanoislands grown on nanotip pre-patterned Si substrates at various temperatures are investigated. Nanoislands with a high density and narrow size distribution can be obtained within an intermediate temperature range, and the Ge atom diffusion length is comparable to half of the average distance of the Si nanotips. The Ge concentration distributions at the center and edge of the GeSi nanoi...
متن کاملFormation and characterization of multilayer GeSi nanowires on miscut Si (001) substrates.
A multilayer of GeSi nanowires separated with Si spacers was readily self-assembled on miscut Si (001) substrates with 8 degrees off toward (110). The nanowires oriented along the miscut direction were very small and compactly arranged on the vicinal surface. Systematic photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy studies were carried out on the GeSi nanowires. With increasing excitation power, a sublin...
متن کاملEnhanced relaxation and intermixing in Ge islands grown on pit-patterned Si(001) substrates.
We compare elastic relaxation and Si-Ge distribution in epitaxial islands grown on both pit-patterned and flat Si(001) substrates. Anomalous x-ray diffraction yields that nucleation in the pits provides a higher relaxation. Using an innovative, model-free fitting procedure based on self-consistent solutions of the elastic problem, we provide compositional and elastic-energy maps. Islands grown ...
متن کاملA promising routine to fabricate GeSi nanowires via self-assembly on miscut Si (001) substrates
: Very small and compactly arranged GeSi nanowires could self-assembled on vicinal Si (001) substrates with ~8° off toward ⟨110⟩ during Ge deposition. The nanowires were all oriented along the miscut direction. The small ration of height over width of the nanowire indicated that the nanowires were bordered partly with {1 0 5} facets. These self-assembled small nanowires were remarkably influenc...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence investigation of strictly ordered Ge dots grown on pit-patterned Si substrates.
We investigate the optical properties of ordered Ge quantum dots (QDs) by means of micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). These were grown on pit-patterned Si(001) substrates with a wide range of pit-periods and thus inter QD-distances (425-3400 nm). By exploiting almost arbitrary inter-QD distances achievable in this way we are able to choose the number of QDs that contribute to the PL emi...
