Abstract
Heteroepitaxial Ge/insulator/Si structures have been prepared by vacuum evaporation of CaF2 and Ge onto heated (111) and (100) oriented Si substrates. CaF2 films with high crystalline perfection and smooth surface were formed on (111) and (100)Si at substrate temperatures of 800°C and 600°C, respectively. Ge films were deposited onto the CaF2/Si structures at 400°C to 600°C. Higher Ge deposition temperature resulted in increased Ge surface roughness but improved Ge crystalline quality. Both the crystalline quality and the electrical properties of the Ge films on CaF2/Si(100) structures were superior to those of the Ge films on CaF2/Si(111) structures.Keywords
