33 Ge/Si(111) growth by LEEM LEEM Movie FOV 15 µm MBE growth T = 550ºC 3 to 8 ML Ge on Si(111) Has been used to study diffusion dynamics during the nucleation and growth of Ge/Si nanostructures on Si(111) F. Ratto, S. Heun et al.: Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 (2006)

35 Comp. mapping of Ge/Si islands Island height: about 25 nm Relative Si surface concentration in a Ge(Si) island on Si(111). The composition mapping is obtained by combining sequences of Si2p and Ge3d XPEEM micrographs with a lateral resolution of ~30 nm. Inset: LEEM image of the same 3D structure (~10 nm lateral resolution). 10 MLs Ge Rate: 0.2 ML/s T = 450 C F. Ratto, S. Heun et al.: Small 2 (2006) 401.
36 Si conc. vs. island morphology Si surface concentration as a function of island base area. At each deposition temperature, the stoichiometry is uniquely determined by the island s lateral dimensions. F. Ratto, S. Heun et al.: J. Appl. Phys. 97 (2005)

38 Metal-induced island ordering Au deposition Stencil mask HF -etched Si(100) Transfer in air to MBE chamber Ge deposition Au (1nm thick) J. T. Robinson et al.: Nano Lett. 5 (2005) 2070.
39 Diffusion barrier model Experiment Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations Objective: Understanding the origin of this diffusion barrier Strategy: Probing surface chemistry and growth dynamics using PEEM and LEEM.
40 As-deposited Au-patterned Si(001) Stencil Mask 200 nm x 200 nm square holes of various pitch LEEM (3 um FOV) Inset: LEED (23.4 ev) shows 1x1 Sharp Au-pattern with 400 nm spacing
41 As-deposited Au-patterned Si(001) Local spectra (hv = 200 ev): Si bulk XPEEM image at Au 4f Au-site Center-site SiO 2 Au-site In addition to Au and Si, another chemical species is present on the surface only at each Au-site, where Si 2p shows two peaks at KE of 92.5 ev (Si bulk) and at 88.5 ev (SiO 2 )
42 As-deposited Au-patterned Si(001) Composite PEEM image of the Si2p and Au4f Au 4f Negligible amount of Au is found inbetween Au sites Good correlation between the Au 4f and SiO 2 maxima Si bulk 1000 nm spacing SiO 2 SiO 2 component extends radially slightly beyond each Au-site
43 Annealed Au-patterned Si(001) LEED (53 ev) after annealing at 600ºC for 30 min. Reconstruction double domain 2x1. No Auinduced reconstruction! Cross-sectional Au 4f intensity profile before and after annealing. Au-sites do not spread during annealing. AFM image of Aupatterned sample after annealing. Several Au-Si islands have formed within each Au-site.
44 Phenomenological Model Si HF Si H-Si(001) Surface Si Au deposition SiO 2 Si Diffusion of Si atoms to the top of Au layers To MBE (air) Si Local oxidation of Si During pre-growth annealing, Au atoms are stabilized by SiO 2 even at substrate temperature higher than 363 o C (Au-Si eutectic point).
45 Ge on Au-patterned Si(001) LEEM images of the surface topography before and after Ge deposition at 450 o C(FOV 3 µm). Ge islands Au pattern Island growth occurs away from the Au-sites at (½, ½) type position of the original pattern.
46 Ge/Au-Si Surface Stoichiometry Highest Ge concentration at Ge islands, Gedepleted zone around original Au-patches Au distribution is similar to Ge: 3D islands are rich in Au Si-rich zone around original Au-sites
47 Phenomenological Model Ge deposition Si Small islands grow directly around Au-sites Etching with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) which removes Ge x Si 1-x for x > 0.65 Islands are Ge-rich Growth occurs only by direct impingement
48 Phenomenological Model Ge deposition Ge & Au Si XPEEM confirms the existence of Ge-denuded zone around Au-sites. Physical origin might be from oxide, which would likely produce compressive strain and promote Ge diffusion away from here. Si Ge wets both SiO 2 and Si. Ge atoms cover the oxide around the original Au-sites. Au can diffuse away. Si Ge/Au-Si island Ge-depleted region
49 Conclusions Surface concentration maps of quantum dot systems by photoemission microscopy. Dot composition neither pure InAs (Ge) nor homogeneous In x Ga 1-x As (SiGe). In (Ge) concentration decreases from center (high) to borders (low) of dots. In segregation (x ~ 0.9) on surface of InAs dots and WL. The Si content in Ge/Si dots increases with island lateral dimensions and deposition temperature. The interplay between Au-induced Si local oxidation and SiO 2 -enhanced Au stability plays an important role in the ordering process of Ge islands on Au-patterned Si.
