摘要：
SiGe films were grown on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown Si0.88Ge0.12 /Si (0 0 1) graded film with different growth solution compositions using a temperature interval of 950-940 degrees C by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). The LPE films grown on the CVD-grown SiGe/Si (0 0 1) graded film are >= 86% relaxed, much more relaxed than those on bare Si (Wang and Quitoriano, 2019) since the existing threading dislocations in the CVD-grown SiGe/Si (0 0 1) graded film glide to create misfit dislocations without needing to nucleate new ones. The threading dislocation density of the LPE films is slightly lower than that of the CVD-grown SiGe films and on the same order of magnitude, similar to 10(6) cm(-2). Since the CVD-grown SiGe/Si (0 0 1) graded film was annealed for 4 h before the LPE growth occurred, the properties of the CVD-grown SiGe/Si (0 0 1) graded film were studied and we found that the CVD-grown SiGe/Si (0 0 1) graded film have SiGe islands appear all over the surface aligned along the <1 1 0> crosshatch morphology and become more relaxed after annealing.
