摘要: The influence of growth temperature on the interfacial abruptness strained Ge layers, a few monolayers thick, embedded in Si has been studied using Raman spectroscopy to identify presence GeGe and GeSi bonds medium energy ion scattering characterize spatial extent layers. Atomically sharp interfaces are observed for temperatures just above crystalline amorphous transition range, with pseudomorphic found >∼250 °C. Asymmetric mixing into capping layer occurs during at higher temperatures. Significantly less intermixing annealing after growth, pointing role dynamical processes occurring front.
