Crystalline Properties and Strain Relaxation Mechanism of CVD Grown GeSn

In this contribution, we discuss the crystalline properties of strained and strain-relaxed CVD-grown GeSn layers with Sn content in the range 6.4-12.6 at.%. A positive deviation from Vegard's law was observed and a new experimental bowing parameter was extracted for GeSn: bGeSn = 0.041 Å (in ex...

description In this contribution, we discuss the crystalline properties of strained and strain-relaxed CVD-grown GeSn layers with Sn content in the range 6.4-12.6 at.%. A positive deviation from Vegard's law was observed and a new experimental bowing parameter was extracted for GeSn: bGeSn = 0.041 Å (in excellent agreement with recent theoretical predictions). The GeSn critical thickness for strain relaxation as a function of Sn concentration was determined, resulting in significantly higher values than those predicted by equilibrium models. A composition-dependent strain relaxation mechanism was also found, with the formation of an increasing density of GeSn pyramidal islands in addition to misfit dislocations at lower Sn concentration. © 2013 The Electrochemical Society.
