This paper demonstrated that lattice constant and Raman shifts of Si-Si and Si-C modes of Si1-yCy are normalized by C fraction obtained from XPS C1s peak at 283.3 eV that is substitutional C fraction. By stripe-shape patterning of the Si(10 nm)/Si0.98C0.02(20-60 nm)/Si(100) heterostructure, compressive-strained Si cap layer was realized.
