Ge dots on Si (111) and (100) surfaces with SiO2 coverage: Raman study
2004
Germanium quantum dots formed on Si (111) and (100)-oriented surfaces coated with ultra-thin oxide layers are studied using Raman spectroscopy technique. Some structural properties (height, stoichiometry and mechanical stresses) of the dots were estimated from Raman data. For analysis of the experimental data, the Raman spectra of Ge nanoclusters containing some hundreds of Ge atoms were calculated numerically. The effects of the resonance enhancement of the intensity of Raman scattering in the Ge-nanoclusters-SiO 2 -Si system were discussed. The influence of the lateral sizes of Ge nano-clusters on the frequencies of phonons localized in them was studied using numerical simulation. The influence of multi-layer growth on the structure of the Ge quantum dots was investigated.
