Epitaxial growth of amorphous Ge films deposited on single-crystal Ge

Abstract

The epitaxial growth of amorphous Ge films deposited onto 110 Ge substrate is demonstrated. Substrate cleaning prior to deposition involves only conventional chemical procedures. The growth appears to be a strong function of the interface cleanliness. Two different growth mechanisms are observed: (a) a direct transition from amorphous to single-crystalline layer and (b) the growth involving the transition of amorphous to polycrystals to single crystal.
