摘要
Si0.8Ge0.2/Si multiple quantum wells (3 nm/30 nm) have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy and have been characterized using photoluminescence (PL), secondary ion mass spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy. A parametric investigation relating the growth conditions to the PL was carried out. The existence of phonon-resolved band-edge PL appears to be strongly related to the background impurity concentration. The connection between phonon-resolved band-edge PL and higher substrate growth temperatures is probably due to the temperature- dependent incorporation of impurities. In the as-grown samples a correlation of the broad PL with platelet density in the quantum wells was observed. The broad PL may be associated with Cr at the platelets since a high temperature (710-degrees-C) anneal extinguished the broad PL and caused a reduction in the Cr found in the quantum wells, but had no effect on the platelet density.
