摘要
Shallow-and deep-level defects in undoped Ge1-xSnx epitaxial layers on Ge and Si grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition were investigated by Hall effect, capacitance-voltage, and deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements. We discuss the effects of postdeposition annealing and introducing hydrogen during crystal growth on shallow-level defects in undoped Ge1-xSnx epitaxial layers. Using DLTS measurements, we found shallow-(< E-V+0.05 eV) and deep-level (E-C-0.23 to E-C-0.33 eV) defects in undoped Ge1-xSnx grown on Ge. We conclude that one of the candidates for the shallow-level defect is related to dislocation in the epitaxial layers. (c) 2015 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
