摘要
We study for the first time the epitaxial growth of ErSi2-x on strained and relaxed Si1-xGex substrates, as well as its structural properties. Epitaxy of ErSi2-x is achieved at a temperature of 550 degreesC after the reaction of a very thin Er/Si template layer. ErSi2-x grows in the tetragonal phase, which has been previously observed for epitaxial growth on Si at higher temperatures. ErSi2-x layers grown on relaxed Si1-xGex exhibit a higher crystal quality, due to the reduction of the lattice mismatch with increasing Ge content. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
