摘要
Sn 含量 x ≥ 0.1 的 Ge1-xSnx 薄膜具有直接带隙,这对于制造高效光子器件非常有意义。单锗化物相 Ni(GeSn)有望在基于 GeSn 的硅光子器件中形成欧姆接触。然而,人们对镍晶锗化物的形成动力学以及镍-锗-锡相中锡的掺入还不完全了解。在这项研究中,使用磁控溅射技术在硅 (100) 基质上外延生长的 Ge 和 Ge0.9Sn0.1 层上沉积了镍薄膜。在 Ni/Ge 和 Ni/Ge0.9Sn0.1 的固态反应过程中进行了原位 X 射线衍射测量。根据线性抛物线模型进行了一维有限差分模拟,以确定相生长的动力学参数。锡的加入改变了锗化镍的成核和生长动力学。观察到 Ni(GeSn)的形成延迟,这可能是由于富镍相中的应力松弛造成的。此外,镍(GeSn)相的热稳定性受到锡偏析的严重影响。我们建立了一个模型来确定镍(GeSn)中锡偏析的动力学参数。
Nickel stanogermanides thin films: Phases formation, kinetics, and Sn segregation
Ge1−xSnx thin films with a Sn content of x ≥ 0.1 present a direct bandgap, which is very interesting for the fabrication of efficient photonic devices. The monostanogermanide phase, Ni(GeSn), is promising to form ohmic contact in GeSn-based Si photonic devices. However, the formation kinetics of Ni stanogermanides and the incorporation of Sn in Ni–GeSn phases are not fully understood. In this work, Ni thin films were deposited on Ge and Ge0.9Sn0.1 layers grown in epitaxy on an Si(100) substrate using magnetron sputtering technique. In situ x-ray diffraction measurements were performed during the solid-state reaction of Ni/Ge and Ni/Ge0.9Sn0.1. 1D finite difference simulations based on the linear parabolic model were performed to determine the kinetics parameters for phase growth. The nucleation and growth kinetics of Ni germanides are modified by the addition of Sn. A delay in the formation of Ni(GeSn) was observed and is probably due to the stress relaxation in the Ni-rich phase. In addition, the thermal stability of the Ni(GeSn) phase is highly affected by Sn segregation. A model was developed to determine the kinetic parameters of Sn segregation in Ni(GeSn).
