Metastable SiGeC formation by solid phase epitaxy

We report the synthesis and detailed structural characterization of SiGeC metastable alloys formed by solid phase epitaxial regrowth. Epitaxial layers with 0.7 and 1.4 at. % C are formed by 700 °C regrowth of multiple energy carbon implants into preamorphized Si0.86Ge0.14 layers on Si substrates. Tr...

description We report the synthesis and detailed structural characterization of SiGeC metastable alloys formed by solid phase epitaxial regrowth. Epitaxial layers with 0.7 and 1.4 at. % C are formed by 700 °C regrowth of multiple energy carbon implants into preamorphized Si0.86Ge0.14 layers on Si substrates. Transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry show heteroepitaxial regrowth of Si1−x−yGexCy layers into the metastable diamond cubic phase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy verifies that the carbon occupies substitutional lattice sites. Double crystal x-ray diffraction measurements of Si1−x−yGexCy and Si1−yCy reference layers quantify the C-induced tensile strain component. This strain compensates for the compressive strain in the SiGe layers, and indicates a change in lattice constant per atomic fraction C in agreement with Vegard’s law.
