Abstract: Thick Ge epitaxial layers are grown on Si(001) substrates with low temperature buffer layers with ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition systems using Si2H6 and GeH4 as precursors.The deposition process of the Ge layer on Si is investigated in real time by reflection high-energy electron diffraction, and the quality of the Ge layer was evaluated by atomic force microscopy, double crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman measurement.The root-mean-square surface roughness of the Ge epilayer with a thickness of 550nm is less than 1nm and the full-width-at-half maximum of the Ge peak of the XRD profile and the Ge-Ge mode of the Raman spectra are about 530" and 5.5cm-1, respectively.These measurements indicate that the Ge epitaxial layer is of good quality.The etch pit density related to threading dislocations is less than 5e5cm-2.This is a promising material for Si-based long wavelength photodetectors and electronic devices
Key words: Ge/Si heteroepitaxy, relaxed buffer, Ge
