Abstract

Through proper reactor design and accurate temperature measurement, high quality silicon/silicon-germanium alloy (Si1-xGex) strained layer structures can be grown by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition with growth temperatures in the 600 - 700°C range. Photoluminescence measurements show well resolved band-edge features, indicating that the films are of very high quality. Quantum confinement effects have also been observed in quantum wells with widths down to 3 nm.
