Abstract
In order to Prepare the$Ge_xSi_{1-x}/Si$(111) heterosructure by solid phase epitaxy (SPE), about 1000A of Au and about 1000A Ge were sequentially deposited on the Si(111) substrate. The resulting Ge/Au/Si(111) samples were isochronically annealed in the high vacuum condition. The behaviors of Au and Ge during thermal annealing and the structural Properties of $Ge_xSi_{1-x}$ films were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The a-Ge/Au/Si(111) structure was converted to the Au/GeSi/Si(111) structure. Defects such as stacking faults, point defects and dislocations were found at the GeXSil-X(111) interface, but the film was grown epitaxially with the matching face relationship of $Ge_xSi_{1-x}/$(111)/Si(111). Twin crystals were also found in the $Ge_xSi_{1-x}/$(111) matrix.
고체상 켜쌓기법(solid phase epitaxy)으로$Ge_xSi_{1-x}/Si$(111) 이종접합을 형성하기 위해 Si(111) 기판위에 먼저 Au를 1000A 증착하고 그 위에 Ge을 1000A 증착시켜 a-Ge/Au/Si(111)구조를 형성하고 이를 고진공 조건에서 이단계 열처리 하였다. 열처리 후 Auger 전자분광분석(AES), X-ray 회절(XRD), 고분해 투과전자현미경(HRTEM) 등을 통해 Au와 Ge의 거동과 형성된 $Ge_xSi_{1-x}$막의 특성을 열처리 조건에 따라 분석하였다. a-Ge/Au/Si(111)구조는 열처리에 의해 Au/GeSi/Si(111)의 구조로 변했으며 형성된$Ge_xSi_{1-x}/$((111)층은 Si(111) 기판의 면 방향과 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 $Ge_xSi_{1-x}/Si$((111)층 내부에 적층결함, 전이, 쌍정, planar defect 등이 주로 (111)면 방향으로 형성되어 있음을 알 수 있었다.
