For the first time, single crystalline GePb was formed using sputtering and laser induced epitaxy. The GePb alloy shows a good crystalline quality without Pb precipitation or clustering. No dislocation is observed at the interface between GePb and Ge. HRBS data indicates that substitutional Pb content of ~0.3% was obtained.

The formation of Ge layers on the Si (001) substrates with 3.5 Ω cm resistivity by sputter epitaxy method has been investigated. Flat Ge layers on the Si substrates are obtained by adjusting the DC sputtering conditions. High DC power sputtering modifies the surface morphology and leads to the formation of flat Ge layers.

Ge lasers, monolithically integrated on a Si CMOS platform, offer great potential for future on-chip photonic systems. In addition, the wide gain spectrum opens the possibility for inexpensive tunable lasers in the near- and mid-IR.

Cl- and F- based dry etching of Ge1-xSnx were presented in this work. High selectivity of Ge1-xSnx over Ge can be achieved by F-based dry etching. This is caused by the formation of a thin nonvolatile SnFx layer at Ge1-xSnx surface. Addition of O2 to CF4 can enhance the selectivity of F-based dry etching, but with an increase of surface roughness of Ge1-xSnx samples.

Poor electron mobility in n-channel Ge FETs is not intrinsic. We can engineer the Ge interface through understanding of thermodynamics in gate stack formation and of kinetics of both surface planarization and oxidation. Thus, Ge FETs are quite promising not only in p-channel but also in n-channel FETs.

Ge nanowire MOSFETs with a uniaxial compressive strain as high as 3.9% were demonstrated by 2-step Ge-condensation technique. Record high hole mobility (μeff = 1922 cm[su2}/Vs) and record-low off-current (2.7×10-9A/μm at Vd = -0.5 V) were achieved among scaled (sub-100nm Lg) Ge MOSFET for the device with the Lg of 45nm. These results indicate that strained-Ge channels have a potential to serve as pFET channel of scaled future CMOS.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of substrate temperature on molecular beam epitaxy-grown InxAl1-xAs graded buffer layer. Atomic force microscopy, cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy are used for wafer characterization. TEM images are used to estimate the threading dislocation density in the wafer. To demonstrate the feasibility of this growth method for device integration, HEMT and HBT are also fabricated.
