摘要
A tensile-strained single-crystalline n-type GeSn-on-insulator structure was demonstrated by lateral liquid-phase crystallization of an Sb-doped GeSn layer, and the diffusion and activation behaviors of Sb atoms in a liquid-phase-grown GeSn wire were investigated. A photoluminescence-based study revealed that a substantial amount of Sb was swept out during the liquid-phase growth of the GeSn wire. A thin-film transistor based on an Sb-doped GeSn wire on a quartz substrate exhibited n-channel accumulation-mode operation, and the temperature dependence of field-effect mobility revealed that the single-crystalline GeSn wire is a lightly doped n-type (similar to 10(17)cm(-3)). The combination of Sb-doped n-type and undoped p-type GeSn wires would bean ideal platform for GeSn-based optoelectronic integration. (C) 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
