Poly-SiGe films were prepared by a metal-induced growth technique with ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition(UHVCVD) at low temperature. The crystal quality and morphology of poly-SiGe films were characterized by XRD and SEM. The influences of varying the thickness of Ni prelayer and the growth parameters on poly-SiGe films were investigated. It is shown that thicker Ni(≥10nm) has an obvious effect on poly-SiGe growth at 420—500℃. And for the samples with 60nm thick Ni layers, poly-SiGe deposition yields a continuous, highly crystalline film with good morphology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
