A novel structure in Ge/Si epilayers grown at low temperature
We report the growth of Ge/Si strained layer at low temperature. A new growth mode is observed where 'groove islands' are formed beneath the Ge wetting layer. The new structure exhibits an Ge concentration dependent profile along the growth direction. This effect is tentatively attributed to the stress-driven intermixing of Ge/Si during the growth.
