利用磁控溅射技术在单晶硅衬底上制备出具有Ge/石墨/Si结构的薄膜样品,然后把其放入快速热退火(RTA)炉中退火。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)测试表明,石墨过渡层的引入缓解了Si、Ge之间的晶格失配和热失配。X射线衍射(XRD)分析表明450℃是Ge薄膜晶化的临界衬底温度,750℃是使Ge薄膜RTA晶化程度明显提高的临界退火温度,30s是最佳退火时间。
The thin film samples with the structure of germanium/graphite/silicon were prepared on monocrys- talline silicon substrates by magnetron sputtering technique. Then the samples were annealed in a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) furnace. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation shows that the introduction of graphite transition layer alleviates the lattice mismatch and the thermal mismatch between silicon and germani um.X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements indicate that 450 ℃ is the critical substrate crystallization tempera- ture of germanium film, 750℃ is the critical annealing temperature which increases the RTA crystallization de- gree of Ge film obviously, and 30 seconds is the proximately optimal annealing time.
