Adsorbates can migrate to the energy-favoring position due to the slow growth rate from SiH 4. In this case, a Si buffer that isolates the effect of substrate on epilayer could not be grown, which results in a pit penetrating into epilayer and buffer. The FWHM is 0.055° in DCXRD from SiH 4.

The roughness of the surface is improved if grown by Si 2H 6; however, the crystal quality of the Ge x Si 1- x material became worse than that from SiH 4 due to much larger growth rate from Si 2H 6.
