中文摘要 | We have studied the strain relaxation in Si1-xGex/Si (001) structures with high electron mobility grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The structures contain a Si1-xGex layer with linearly graded composition, followed subsequently by a uniform composition buffer Si1-yGey, a thin Si layer serving as two-dimensional electron gas channel, and a modulation n-doped Si1-xGex layer. We found that a major part of the graded layer is basically completely strain relaxed, whereas a very thin layer close to the graded-uniform layer interface, as well as the uniform alloy buffer, are just partly relaxed. We performed also model calculations of the strain status of a graded-uniform two-layer system using an equilibrium approach. It is found that for our Si0.7Ge0.3 systems, the residual strains of the samples with different composition, grading rate, and a uniform buffer thickness of 0.6 mu m is almost the same at equilibrium. However, experiments show a clear dependence of the residual strain on the grading rate of the graded buffer. The higher the grading rate, the higher is the residual strain in the constant composition alloy buffer. This indicates that with a lower grading rate, the structure is closer to equilibrium, and is thus, thermally more stable. Furthermore, lower grading rates produce also smoother surfaces.
