ABSTRACTMetal-induced low temperature (≤ 550 °C) crystallization of a-Si1-xGex (0 ≤ × ≤ 1 ) layers on SiO2 films has been investigated. For low Ge fractions below 20 %, Ge-doping enhanced plane growth was observed. This realized strain-free poly-Si0.8Ge0.2 films with large grains (18 μm). On the other hand, dendrite growth was dominant for intermediate Ge fractions with 40–60 %. Directions and widths of dendrites became straight and narrow with decreasing annealing temperature. As a result, very sharp needlelike crystals (width: 0.05 μm, length: 10 μm) were obtained at the optimized growth conditions (x: 0.4, annealing: 450 °C, 20 h). These new polycrystalline SiGe films on insulators should be used for the advanced system-in-displays and novel one-dimensional wires.

To develop a new low-temperature crystallization technique, annealing characteristics of a-GeSn/Si (100) structures are investigated. It is revealed that epitaxial growth accompanying Si-Ge mixing is generated at temperatures in the liquid-solid coexisting region of the Ge-Sn system. The annealing temperature necessary for epitaxial growth is significantly decreased by increasing annealing time and/or Sn concentration. Consequently, epitaxial growth at 300°C becomes possible. These findings are expected to be useful to realize next-generation large-scale integrated circuits, where various multi-functional devices are integrated.

ABSTRACTStoichiometric and Ti-doped LiNbO3 films could be synthesized by the organometallic route. The films were epitaxially crystallized at temperatures around 400°C on sapphire substrates. The reaction control of alkoxides in solvent was found to be very critical for adjusting the stoichiometry and the low temperature crystallization, as well as the crystallization in water vapor stream.
