Valley Splitting

AbstractThe electronic structure for a strained silicon quantum well grown on a tilted SiGe substrate is calculated using an empirical tight-binding method. For a zero substrate tilt angle the two lowest minima of the conduction band define a non-zero valley splitting at the center of the Brillouin zone. A finite tilt angle for the substrate results in displacing the two lowest conduction band minima to finite k0 and -k0 in the Brillouin zone with equal energy. The vanishing of the valley splitting for quantum wells grown on tilted substrates is found to be a direct consequence of the periodicity of the steps at the interfaces between the quantum well and the buffer materials.

Growth Interface

High electron mobility structures have been built for several years now using strained silicon layers grown on SixGe(1-x) with x in the 25-40% range. In these structures, a thin layer of silicon is grown between layers of unstrained GeSi alloy. Matching of the two lattices in the plane of growth produces a bi-axial strain in the silicon, splitting the conduction band and providing light electron levels for enhanced mobility. If the silicon channel becomes too thick, strain relaxation can occur by injection of misfit dislocations at the growth interface between the silicon and GeSi alloy. The strain field of these dislocations then gives rise to a local potential variation that limits electron mobility in the strained Si channel. This study seeks to verify this mechanism by measuring the absolute conduction band shifts which track the local potential near the misfit dislocations.
