摘要
We examined the molecular beam epitaxy of Ge1-xSnx with in situ Sb doping on Ge substrates. The effects of Sb doping on the crystalline and electrical characteristics of Ge1-xSnx epitaxial layer were investigated in detail. We found that Sb doping with a concentration of 10(20) cm(-3) remarkably improves the crystallinity, and surface uniformity of the Ge1-xSnx epitaxial layer by changing the growth mode by the surfactant effect of Sb atoms. Low-temperature Ge1-xSnx growth with in situ Sb doping realizes a very high electron concentration of 10(20) cm(-3), which is above the thermal equilibrium solid solubility, as a result of suppressing Sb segregation and precipitation.
