Stranski-Krastanow Growth Of Tensile Strained Si Islands On Ge(001)
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS(2007)
Abstract
Stranski-Krastanow island growth is demonstrated for tensile strained silicon epilayers on Ge (001) substrates over a wide range of growth temperatures. Small, Si-rich islands show sidewall faces near {1,1,10}, whereas larger islands are {113}-terminated truncated pyramids with an aspect ratio near 0.1. In contrast to compressively strained Ge on Si, we find for Si on Ge a significantly thicker wetting layer of > 8 ML and coexistence of islands and dislocations.
