Si/Gen/Si(001)异质结薄膜的掠入射荧光X射线吸收精细结构研究

利用掠入射荧光X射线吸收精细结构(XAFS)方法研究了在400℃的温度下分子束外延生长的Si/Gen/Si(001)异质结薄膜(n=1,2,4和8个原子层)中Ge原子的局域环境结构.结果表明,在1至2个Ge原子层(ML)生长厚度的异质结薄膜中,Ge原子的第一近邻配位主要是Si原子.随着Ge原子层厚度增加到4 ML,Ge原子的最近邻配位壳层中的Ge-Ge配位的平均配位数增加到1.3.当Ge原子层厚度增加到8 ML时,第一配位壳层中的Ge-Ge配位占的比例只有55%.这表明在400℃的生长条件下,Ge原子有很强的迁移到Si覆盖层的能力.随着Ge层厚度从1增加到2,4和8 ML,Ge原子迁移到Si覆盖层的量由0.5 ML分别增加到1.5,2.0和3.0 ML.认为在覆盖Si过程中Ge原子的迁移主要是通过产生Ge原子表面偏析来降低表面能和Ge层的应变能.

Calculation of rheed from stepped Si(001) for interpretation of rheed oscillations during MBE

RHEED intensities from stepped Si(001) surfaces are calculated to show the azimuthai dependence of RHEED intensity oscillations during Si MBE on a single domain of Si(001). The results explain why different intensities are observed when the incident beam azimuth is along the [110] and the [1̄10] directions and they are consistent with recently reported experimental results. In addition the results of the calculations indicate that the preferred island growth direction is perpendicular to the bonding direction between the atoms in the growing layer and the underlying substrate layer.     

Growth dynamics studied by RHEED during Si/Ge epitaxy from gaseous hydrides

Si and Ge epitaxial growth from disilane and germane in a gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) system is followed in situ by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) intensity oscillations. During Ge homoepitaxy, the growth rate on a Ge(100) substrate is found to be limited by surface hydrogen desorption below 350°C and by hydride adsorption above this temperature. Ge heteroepitaxy on Si results in incomplete layer growth leaving exposed Si at the surface during the initial stages of growth. Therefore, a gradual change in the observed Si surface concentration is seen as growth proceeds. Si heteroepitaxy on Ge follows the Volmer-Weber growth mode and proceeds via island formation. This, combined with Ge surface segregation, results in a slow decrease of the Ge surface population at the growth front. During heteroepitaxial growth, hydride reaction rates differ on Si and Ge surfaces, and therefore a changing concentration of the surface species is manifest as a gradual change in the observed oscillation frequency. This effect, observed during the early stages of growth, shows strong temperature dependence, consistent with previous observations on SiGe alloys. Following several layers of growth, however, the surfaces become rough. The influence of this roughness on the oscillation frequency is also discussed.     

Self-organized in-plane incorporation of Si atoms in GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy

The preferential attachment of Si atoms at misorientation steps on vicinal GaAs(001) surfaces has been studied by RHEED. By analysing the time evolution of the specular beam intensity and the change in surface reconstruction during Si deposition we show that a self-organized Si incorporation along the step edges takes place. The observed (3×2) structure is due to an ordered array of dimerized Si atoms with missing dimer rows. Taking into account the structure of the (3×2) unit mesh and its orientation with respect to the As-terminated or Ga-terminated steps, a characteristic minimum in the RHEED intensity recording corresponds to the number of Ga step-edge sites. Since the preferential path for Ga as well as for Si adatom diffusion is along the [110] direction, the critical terrace width for wirelike Si attachment is much larger for a misorientation toward (111)As than for a misorientation toward (111)Ga. Despite the high local impurity concentration, the Si-modified surface can be overgrown with GaAs without adverse effects on the growth front. This is promising for the fabrication of doping wires.     

Double diffraction spots in RHEED patterns from clean Ge(111) and Si(001) surfaces

In RHEED patterns from clean Ge(111) and Si(001) surfaces, extra diffraction spots have been observed with superlattice reflection spots due to Ge(111) 2 × 8 and Si(001) 2 × 1 surface structures. The extra spots have not been found out in many previous LEED and RHEED patterns of clean Ge(111) and Si(001) surfaces. When the Ge(111) and Si(001) samples were rotated about an axis normal to the surfaces so as to vary the incident direction of the primary electron beam, the intensity of the extra spots showed a remarkable dependence upon the incident direction and they became invisible in some incident directions, in spite of the experimental condition that an Ewald sphere intersected reciprocal lattice rods of the extra spots. In this study, the extra spots are understood as forbidden reflection spots resulting from double diffraction of superlattice reflections of the surface structures, and the remarkable dependence of their intensity upon the incident direction is explained in terms of excitation of the surface wave of the superlattice reflections. These results suggest that the intensity of diffraction spots in RHEED patterns may be greatly influenced by the surface wave excitation of fundamental and superlattice reflections.

Origin of azimuthal effect of RHEED intensity oscillations observed during MBE

On the basis of calculated RHEED intensities from stepped surfaces, the or igin of the azimuthal dependence of RHEED intensity oscillations observed during Si MBE growth on Si(001) is discussed. By combining the azimuthal dependence of RHEED intensity variations from stepped surface with a model growth mechanism, we obtain the result that in a certain incident beam azimuth one period of the oscillations corresponds to a biatomic height and to a monatomic height in other azimuths. The result is quite consistent with a recently reported experiment.

The results of analysis of the oscillation intensity of RHEED specular reflection during the MBE growth of CaF₂/Si(111) structures in a wide temperature range from 100 to 600°С are presented. It is shown that the preliminary formation of a 2D Si buffer layer provides the two-dimensional growth of CaF₂ layers. Possible reasons which for the disruption of 2D growth at high substrate temperatures are discussed.
