Electron mobility enhancement in epitaxial multilayer Si-Si/1-x/Ge /x/ alloy films on /100/Si

Enhanced Hall-effect mobilities have been measured in epitaxial (100)-oriented multilayer n-type Si/Si(1-x)Ge(x) films grown on single-crystal Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition. Mobilities from 20 to 40% higher than that of epitaxial Si layers and about 100% higher than that of epitaxial Si...

Description
Summary:Enhanced Hall-effect mobilities have been measured in epitaxial (100)-oriented multilayer n-type Si/Si(1-x)Ge(x) films grown on single-crystal Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition. Mobilities from 20 to 40% higher than that of epitaxial Si layers and about 100% higher than that of epitaxial SiGe layers on Si were measured for the doping range 8 x 10 to the 15th to 10 to the 17th/cu cm. No mobility enhancement was observed in multilayer p-type (100) films and n-type (111)-oriented films. Experimental studies included the effects upon film properties of layer composition, total film thickness, doping concentrations, layer thickness, and growth temperature.
