Abstract
We achieved the world's first epitaxial growth of a Ge1-x-ySnxCy layer, and investigated the effect of Sn incorporation on the growth of Ge1-xCx. Sn incorporation can decrease the epitaxial temperature of Ge1-xCx layer. Also, Sn incorporation can make C atoms stable at the substitutional site. This Ge1-x-ySnxCy layer is expected to realize the energy band engineering independently on the lattice parameter and promises to extend the potential of group-IV semiconductor materials for nanoelectronics and optoelectronic applications.
