ABSTRACTA clear PL spectrum was observed from β-FeSi2 grains on gold (Au)-coated (100)Si substrates, and indicated the formation of crystal with the same high quality level as the β-FeSi2 on a copper (Cu)-coated Si substrate. Moreover, the temperature dependence of photoluminescence peak intensities showed lower density of the nonradiative recombination center in β-FeSi2 grains on Au-coated Si substrates than that of β-FeSi2 film on Cu-coated Si. Au was not detected in β-FeSi2 grains by STEM-EDX observation, while Cu was observed in the grains and grain boundaries of β-FeSi2 and rolled as non-radiative recombination center.

ABSTRACTThe Au-Si liquid phase was obtained by melting the Si surface via Au-Si eutectic reaction, which contributed to the formation of semiconducting iron disilicide (β-FeSi2), on Au-coated Si(100) substrates. By coating a substrate with an Au layer of 60 nm or more, the Au-Si liquid phase covered the entire Si substrate surface, and single-phase β-FeSi2 was grown on Si(100) substrates. A clear photoluminescence spectrum of β-FeSi2 indicated the formation of high-quality crystals with a low density of the non-radiative recombination center in the grains.

Temperature dependence of the growth rate of 3C-SiC(001) films on Si(001) substrates during ultralow-pressure (ULP: ~10-1 Pa) CVD using monomethylsilane has been investigated in detail by using pyrometric interferometry. A novel behavior, i.e. a sharp division of the growth mode into two regimes depending on the growth temperature, has been found to exist. Based on this finding, we have developed a two-step process, which realizes a low-temperature (900 °C), high-rate growth of single-crystalline 3C-SiC film on Si substrates, whose rate of 3 m/h is extremely high for this ULP process.

In the formation of epitaxial graphene on Si substrates, the growth of high-quality 3C-SiC thin films on Si substrates is a key to success. As a solution to the large mismatch between the Si substrate and the 3C-SiC film, rotated epitaxy in which 3C-SiC(111) films are grown on Si(110) substrates is quite attractive. In some applications, on the other hand, a certatin thickness (~100 nm or more) is required for this 3C-SiC films as well. A two-step growth method has been thus developed to realize a high-rate, qualified rotated epitaxy. A qualified graphene is found to be formed on this rotated epi-film, as typified by the increase of the grain size by a factor of 1.6 from the non-rotated epitaxy.
