Growth of Germanium Thin Films on Sapphire Using Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Growth of Germanium Thin Films on Sapphire Using Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Germanium films were grown on c-plane sapphire with a 10 nm AlAs buffer layer using molecular beam epitaxy. The effects of Ge film thickness on the surface morphology and crystal structure were investigated using ex situ characterization techniques. The nucleation of Ge proceeds by forming (111) ori...
