In this presentation we discussed the growth and the optical properties of n-doped Ge lateral LEDs. We showed, that the optical bleaching of the material and the corresponding decrease of net absorption in the Fabry-Perot cavity leads to higher electroluminescence intensity. This is a very important step to achieve net-gain inside the indirect semiconductor material Ge and to build a laser device5 with low threshold current densities.

XRD techniques determined that 270 nm GaP grown on 400 nm Si0.85Ge0.15/Si(001) substrates by MOCVD is single crystalline and pseudomorphic, but carry a 0.07% tensile strain after cooling down to room temperature due to the bigger thermal expansion coefficient of GaP with respect to Si (Fig. 2). TEM and AFM examinations indicated a closed but defective GaP layer (Fig. 3(a)) with low root mean square of roughness (rms) of 3.0 nm for 1 μm2 surface area (Fig. 3(b)). Although TEM studies confirm the absence of misfit dislocations in the pseudomorphic GaP film, growth defects (e.g. stacking faults, microtwins, and anti-phase domains) are detected, concentrating at the GaP/SiGe interface (Fig. 3(c)-(d), Fig. 4). We interpret these growth defects as a residue of the initial 3D island coalescence phase of the GaP film on the Si0.85Ge0.15 buffer. TEM-EDX studies reveal that the observed growth defects are often correlated with stoichiometric inhomogeneities in the GaP film (not shown here). Finally, ToF-SIMS detects sharp heterointerfaces between GaP and SiGe films with a minor level of Ga diffusion into the SiGe buffer (Fig. 5).

Electronic charged states of self-aligned coupled silicon quantum dots are investigated in this study using atomic force microscopy/Kelvin probe microscopy. Spatially-controlled charging characteristics of the quantum dot are studied. Results show that the temporal change in surface potential after electron injection is due to electron transfer in the quantum dot.

A pseudomorphic growth of GeSn epitaxial films with [Sn] up to 16 at.% on relaxed Ge underlayer was demonstrated in a reduced pressure thermal chemical vapor deposition chamber. GeSn film resistivity can be as low as 0.3 mOhm-cm by in-situ boron doping of GeSn. Also, a GeSiSn film growth containing [Si]~24 at.% and [Sn]~4 at.% was achieved by flowing SiH4 during GeSn growth.
