摘要
Si1-x-yGexCy ternary alloy films were grown on monocrystalline silicon substrates by C+ ion implantation and subsequent solid phase epitaxy (SPE). Two-step annealing technique was employed in the SPE. The structure and electrical properties of the alloy films were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and van der Pauw Hall measurements, respectively. With the optimization of two-step annealing technique for the implanted Si1-x-yGexCy layers, a certain amount of C atoms occupied substitutional sites and no SiC was formed.
