Study on solid phase epitaxy of sputtered SiGe film

The experimental results on solid phase epitaxy of ion beam sputtered SiGe film on Si(100) substrate are presented. The SiGe/Si hetero-epitaxy is achieved by high temperature thermal processes such as diffusion, annealing, and oxidation. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy show the epitaxial character of SiGe film on Si substrate.
