ABSTRACTP-i-n doped short-period SimGen strained layer superlattices (SLS) are grown on (100) silicon substrates by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy (300C°<∼Tg<∼400C°). The SLS's are grown with period lengths around 10 monolayers (ML) to a thickness of 250nm on a rather thin (50nm) homogeneous Si1−ybGeyb alloy buffer layer serving as strain symmetrizing substrate. Photoluminescence at T=5K is observed for various SimGen SLS samples, the strongest signal was found for a Si5 Ge5 SLS. Samples with identical SLS's but different buffer layer composition and thicknesses are grown to study the influence of strain on the PL. Electroluminescence (EL) at the same energy range is observed from mounted SimGen SLS mesa and waveguide diodes up to T=130K – for the first time reported in strain symmetrized short-period SimGen SLS. The intensity and peak positon of the EL signal was found to be dependent on the injected electrical power.

We have studied interfacial mixing of Si/Ge strained-layer superlattices during Si molecular beam epitaxy. The mixing has been shown to be primarily due to the surface segregation of Ge atoms during Si overlayer growth. It has been found that only the Ge atoms on the topmost Ge layer dominantly segregate to the growing surface. It has also been found that the surface segregation of Ge is effectively suppressed by depositing Sb atoms on the Ge layers. It has been demonstrated that Si/Ge superlattices with abrupt Si/Ge interfaces can be grown by depositing Sb. The two state exchange model is used to discuss the surface segregation of Ge and the suppression of the segregation by Sb deposition.
