$SiO_2$위에 증착된 $Si_{1-X}Ge_X$합금의 증착온도 변화에 따른 결정성 및 미세구조에 관한 연구 = A study of the crystallinity and microstructure of the $Si_{1-X}Ge_X$ alloys deposited on the $SiO_2$at various temperatures

국문 초록 (Abstract)

비정질 $SiO_{2}$위에서 증착시킨 $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$합금의 증착온도에 따른 결정성, 미세구조와 조성의 균일성을 X선 회절법과 투과 전자현미겨으로 조사하였고, $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$계면을 고분해능 투과 전자현미경을 이용하여 원자단위로 관찰하였다. Ge의 몰분율을 0.3으로 놓고 증착온도를 $300^{\circ}C,400^{\circ}C,500^{\circ}C,600^{\circ}C,700^{\circ}C$로 변화시키며 Si-MBE로 증착된 박막은 , 분석 결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 비정질상만이 존재하였고 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 결정상과 비정질상이 공존하고 있었다. 두상은 $SiO_2$위에 함께 증착되었으나 초기 성장에서는 비정질상이 주로 성장되었으며 박막의 두께가 비정질층이 관찰되었다. $600^{\circ}C$이상에서는 결정상으로만 증착되었다. 증착된 다결정상은 주상성장을 하였다. 증착된 박막의 조성은 중착온도에 관계없이 균일하였으며, $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$계면은 다결정상이나 비정질상에 관계없이 평탄하였다.

The changes of crystallinity and microstructure and the $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$ interfaces of $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ alloys deposited on amorphous $SiO_{2}$ were studied as a function of deposition temperature. The crystallinity, microstructure, and compositional uniformity of $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ alloys deposited on the SiOl at different temperature were investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. And $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$ interface were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The $Si_{0.7}Ge_{0.3}/Sio_2$ films were deposited on amorphous $SiO_{2}$ at $300^{\circ}C,400^{\circ}C,500^{\circ}C,600^{\circ}C,$ and $700^{\circ}C$ by Si-MBE. In the film deposited at $300^{\circ}C$, only amorphous phase were observed. In the film deposited at $400^{\circ}C$, both amorphous and polycrystalline films were observed. Both phases were deposited simultaneously, but, at initial film growth, amorphous phase prevailed over polycrystalline phase. As the film thickness increased, the fraction of polycrystalline phase increased. At $500^{\circ}C$, thin amorphous layer was observed at lOnm from $SiO_{2}$ surface. In the films deposited at higher than $600^{\circ}C$, only crystalline phase were observed. Polycrystalline films had columnar structure. Compositional uniformity for deposited films were good regardless of deposition temperature. The interfaces of $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$ were flat, whatever polycrystal or amorphous was deposited on $SiO_{2}$.
