Extremely high depth resolution is required to detect and optimize near-interface compositional gradients which are crucial for high circuit performance. We report on non-destructive, high-resolution, near-interface depth profiling using SR photoelectron spectroscopy at an undulator beamline. We measured the Ge content at the SixGe1-x interface towards the native SiO2 layer and investigated the influence of additional (1nm and 2nm) Si capping layers (Si-cap). For the uncapped samples we found near the oxide/ SiGe interface region a strong mixing of Ge-oxides and SiOx. This indicates a high instability of the Ge atoms at those interfaces while silicon capped (1nm, 2nm) SixGe1-x films are more stable. We detect sharp Ge concentration gradients within the first 1nm at the Si/SixGe1-x interface. These results open new possibilities for Ge profile optimization in Si-cap/SixGe1-x/Si heterostructures. In the Ge3d spectra we differentiate the Ge atoms to occupy three different lattice sites and are able to follow their relative occupation within the Ge gradient.}, language = {en} } @misc{ZaumseilYamamotoBaueretal., author = {Zaumseil, Peter and Yamamoto, Yuji and Bauer, Joachim and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Matejova, Jana and Kozłowski, Grzegorz and Schr{\"o}der, Thomas and Tillack, Bernd}, title = {Preparation and Characterization of Ge Epitaxially Grown on Nano-structured Periodic Si Pillars and Bars on Si(001) Substrate}, series = {Thin Solid Films}, volume = {520}, journal = {Thin Solid Films}, number = {8}, issn = {0040-6090}, doi = {10.1016/j.tsf.2011.10.178}, pages = {3240 -- 3244}, language = {en} } @misc{KozłowskiZaumseilSchubertetal., author = {Kozłowski, Grzegorz and Zaumseil, Peter and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Yamamoto, Yuji and Sch{\"u}lli, Tobias U. and Tillack, Bernd and Schroeder, Thomas}, title = {Growth and relaxation processes in Ge nanocrystals on free-standing Si(001) nanopillars}, series = {Nanotechnology}, volume = {23}, journal = {Nanotechnology}, number = {11}, issn = {0957-4484}, doi = {10.1088/0957-4484/23/11/115704}, pages = {115704 -- 115711}, language = {en} } @misc{SkibitzkiHatamiYamamotoetal., author = {Skibitzki, Oliver and Hatami, Fariba and Yamamoto, Yuji and Zaumseil, Peter and Trampert, A. and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Tillack, Bernd and Schroeder, Thomas}, title = {GaP collector development for SiGe HBT performance increase: A heterostructure growth study}, series = {Journal of Applied Physics}, volume = {111}, journal = {Journal of Applied Physics}, number = {7}, issn = {0021-8979}, doi = {10.1063/1.3701583}, pages = {073515 -- 073515-9}, language = {en} } @misc{ZaumseilKozłowskiYamamotoetal., author = {Zaumseil, Peter and Kozłowski, Grzegorz and Yamamoto, Yuji and Bauer, J. and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Sch{\"u}lli, Tobias U. and Tillack, Bernd and Schroeder, Thomas}, title = {Compliant Si nanostructures on SOI for Ge nanoheteroepitaxy - a case study for lattice mismatched semiconductor integration on Si(001)}, series = {Journal of Applied Physics}, volume = {112}, journal = {Journal of Applied Physics}, number = {4}, issn = {0021-8979}, pages = {043506 -- 043511}, language = {en} } @misc{ZaumseilKozłowskiSchubertetal., author = {Zaumseil, Peter and Kozłowski, Grzegorz and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Yamamoto, Yuji and Bauer, J. and Sch{\"u}lli, Tobias U. and Tillack, Bernd and Schroeder, Thomas}, title = {The role of SiGe buffer in growth and relaxation of Ge on free-standing Si(001) nanopillars}, series = {Nanotechnology}, volume = {23}, journal = {Nanotechnology}, number = {35}, issn = {1361-6528}, pages = {355706}, language = {en} } @misc{BauerYamamotoZaumseiletal., author = {Bauer, J. and Yamamoto, Yuji and Zaumseil, Peter and Fursenko, Oksana and Schulz, K. and Kozłowski, Grzegorz and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Schroeder, Thomas and Tillack, Bernd}, title = {Nanostructured Silicon for Ge Nanoheteroepitaxy}, series = {Microelectronics Engineering}, volume = {97}, journal = {Microelectronics Engineering}, issn = {0167-9317}, pages = {169 -- 172}, language = {en} } @misc{CapelliniKozłowskiYamamotoetal., author = {Capellini, Giovanni and Kozłowski, Grzegorz and Yamamoto, Yuji and Lisker, Marco and Tillack, Bernd and Ghrib, A. and Kersauson, M. de and El Kurdi, M. and Boucaud, P. and Schroeder, Thomas}, title = {Tensile strained Ge layers obtained via Si-CMOS compatible approach}, series = {Journal of Applied Physics}, volume = {113}, journal = {Journal of Applied Physics}, number = {1}, pages = {013513-1 -- 013513-6}, language = {en} } @misc{ZaumseilYamamotoSchubertetal., author = {Zaumseil, Peter and Yamamoto, Yuji and Schubert, Markus Andreas and Schr{\"o}der, Thomas and Tillack, Bernd}, title = {Heteroepitaxial Growth of Ge on compliant strained nano-structured Si lines and dots on (001) SOI substrates}, series = {Thin Solid Films}, volume = {557}, journal = {Thin Solid Films}, issn = {0040-6090}, pages = {50 -- 54}, language = {en} }
