It has been found that the samples cxhibit an island configuration, and the island growth of SiCGe epilayer depends on the processing parameters such as the growth temperature. When the growth temperature is comparatively low, the epilayer has two types of islands： onc is spherical island; another is cascading triangular island. With the increase of the growth temperature, the islands change from spherical to cascading triangular mode. The size and density of the islands depend on the growth duration and GeH4 flow-rate. A longer growth time and a larger GeH4 flow-rate can increase the size and density of the island in thc initial stage of the epitaxy. In our case, The optimal growth for a high density of uniform islands occurred at a growth temperature of 1100℃ for l-minute growth, with 10 SCCM GeH4, resulting in a narrow size distribution （about 30nm diameter） and high density （about 3.5 ×10^10 dots/cm2）. The growth follows Stranski- Krastanov modc （2D to 3D modc）, both of the islands and the 2D growth layer have face-centred cubic structure, and the critical thickness of the 2D growth layer is only 2.5 nm.展开更多
