Strained Nanoscale GeSiSn Layers Grown on Silicon for Optoelectronic
Authors: , , , , , , , ,
Abstract: The formation of pseudomorphous GeSiSn layers directly on Si have been investigated. The transition from two-dimensional growth regime to three-dimensional of the GeSiSn film on Si(100) was studied for different mismatch with silicon and growth temperatures. A possibility of synthesizing multilayer structures by molecular beam epitaxy was shown, and the crystal lattice constants using the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry were determined. Based on multilayer GeSiSn/Si structures the p-i-n-diodes, which demonstrated the photoresponse increasing by several orders of magnitude compared to the Sn-free structures at an increase in the Sn content, were created. Nanostructures based on GeSiSn layers have demonstrated the photoluminescence at 0.6 0.85 eV.
