摘要
We have demonstrated that sub-10nm-thick heteroepitaxial Ge films on Si (001) having smooth surfaces can be obtained by DC magnetron sputtering. Ge films grown at 350 C preserve the smooth surfaces with a roughness root mean square (RMS) of 0.39 nm, whereas, the Ge films grown at 500 C show significant roughness with an island-like morphology. In samples grown at 350 C, it is confirmed that the Ge films are grown epitaxially by cross-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curve measurements. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 720 C is effective in improving the crystalline quality and the degradation in the roughness is negligible. Raman spectra and an XRD reciprocal space map reveal that the epitaxial Ge grown at 350 C show an in-plane compressive strain and that the strain continues to remain after a 72O degrees C RTA.
