摘要
The effect of the predeposition of strained Si1-xGex layers (x <= 20%) on photoluminescence (PL) of self-assembled Ge(Si)/Si(001) islands is studied. A shift of the PL peak related to dome-shaped islands (domes) to lower energies, with respect to the PL peak related to pyramidal islands is observed; this shift is related to a much larger height of the domes compared to that of pyramids. It is found that, as the Ge content in the Si1-xGex layer (x) becomes higher than 0.1, two separate peaks appear in the broad PL band related to the islands; these peaks are attributed to the zero-phonon and phonon-assisted optical transitions in the islands. The appearance of these transitions is caused by a change of the TO-phonon type involved in radiative recombination: a TOGe-Ge phonon is replaced by a TOSi-Ge phonon with a shorter wavelength.
