Abstract

Heteroepitaxy of group IV materials (Si, SiGe, and Ge) has great potential for novel Si-based sensor devices. We report on a self-consistent extraction of surface and bulk MOS parameters for the optimization of the growth parameters of epitaxial Si/SiGe/Si-layer stacks used for strain sensor applications. Beside the MOS surface and bulk parameters such as interface state density Dit(Et) and the generation lifetime τg(xg) Irec,gen(∆ѱs) rapid simultaneous measurements of Ig(Vg) and Chf(Vg) in non-steady state non-equilibrium enable the extraction of the current voltage characteristic Irec,gen(s) of the field induced pn junction for the optimization of growth conditions of the low temperature LPCVD epitaxy process considered in this study. An appropriate choice of sample temperature and gate voltage ramp rate enables a convenient adjustment of the desired non-steady state non-equilibrium for the measurements.
