摘要:
The energy splitting of the conduction‐band minimum of Si1−xGexdue to strain has been directly measured by the application of ballistic‐electron‐emission microscope (BEEM) spectroscopy to Ag/Si1−xGexstructures. Experimental values for this conduction‐band splitting agree well with calculations. For Au/Si1−xGex, however, heterogeneity in the strain of the Si1−xGexlayer is introduced by deposition of the Au. This variation is attributed to species interdiffusion, which produces a rough Si1−xGexsurface. Preliminary modeling indicates that the observed roughness is consistent with the strain variation measured by BEEM.
