Recent progress in the growth of ordered Ge/Si quantum dots (QDs) is reviewed. We focus on the detailed progresses of the Ge/Si multiple layers QDs and the preparation of Ge/Si QDs by ion beam irradiation. In addition, the growth of Ge/Si QDs on patterned substrate by using different preparation methods are also well discussed, such as nanosphere lithography technology, extreme ultra-violet interference lithography technology, nanoimprint lithography technology, etc.

The recent process in the fabrication of the ordered Ge/Si quantum dots (QDs) is reviewed. The fabrication step generally started on the preparation of patterned substrate prepared in advance by using several interesting methods, such as photo lithography, focus ion beam (FIB), reactive ion etching (RIE), and extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV-IL) et al, which are introduced briefly in this article. Here, we’d like to focus on the detailed process of nanosphere lithography (NSL) which has the advantages of less cost and higher product compared with the referred methods. The ordered Ge nanostructures always show as Hexagonal close-packed array on the patterned Si substrate and have the advantages of potential applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices.

This work devotes to a comparative study of the photoluminescence of Ge/Si epitaxial structures with quantum dots created with using ion beam irradiation and structures with Ge nanoclusters formed as a result of the implantation of Ge ions into silicon and subsequent annealing.

A series of double-layer Ge/Si quantum dots are prepared by ion beam sputtering deposition (IBSD) on Si (100) substrates. The influences of deposition temperature and thickness of Si spacer-layer on the microstructure of double-layer Ge/Si quantum dots were characterized by using Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectra technique. The results indicate that the density of the second layer islands firstly increases and then decreases with increasing the growth temperature of Si spacer-layers. In addition, increasing the thickness of Si spacer-layer, the islands merger phenomenon disappears. When the deposition thickness is larger than 40 nm, the islands on the upper-layer show the same features with the buried islands. The mechanism of three-factor-interactions of nanoislands is proposed to explain these phenomena, and our results can be used as a guidance to obtain optimum IBSD growth process for Ge/Si quantum-dot superlattices.

Abstract Focused Ion Beam is commonly used for IC repairs and modifications. However, FIB operation may also induce a damaging impact which can takes place far from the working area due to the charge-up phenomenon. A complete characterization joined to an in-depth understanding of the physical phenomena arising from FIB irradiation is therefore necessary to take into account spurious FIB induced effects and to enhance the success of FIB modifications. In this paper, we present the effects of FIB irradiation on the electrical DC performances of different electronic devices such as nMOS and pMOS transistors, CMOS inverters, PN junctions and bipolar transistors. From the observed behavior of the DC characteristics evolution of the devices, some suggestions about physical mechanisms inducing the electrical degradation are proposed.
