It is found that the uncapped Ge dots are partially oxidized and partially alloyed with Si. The amount of Ge present in the Ge phase is found to be about 20 30%. In the Si capped sample, Ge is found to be dissolved in silicon, the fraction of Ge atoms existing as pure Ge phase being not more than 10%.展开更多

The admittance spectroscopy measurements show that the activation energy of 0.341eV can be considered as the emitting energy of hole from the ground state of the quantum dot. And the capacitance variation with temperature of the sample shows a platform at various frequencies with reverse bias (0.5 V,) which indicates that the boundary of space charge region is located at the quantum dot layer where the large confined hole concentration blocks the further extension of space charge region. When the temperature increases from 120K to 200K, the holes in the dot emit out completely. The position of the platform shifting with the increase of the applied frequency shows the frequency effects of the charges in the quantum dot. The deep level transient spectroscopy results show that the charge concentration in the Ge quantum dot is a function of the pulse duration and the reverse bias voltage, the activation energy and capture cross-section of hole decrease with the increase of pulse duration due to the Coulomb charging effect. The valence-band offsets of hole in Ge dot obtained by admittance spectroscopy and deep level transient spectroscopy are 0.341 and 0.338eV, respectively.展开更多
