Abstract

The performance of many Si/SiGe devices, particularly those involving modulation doped quantum wells, will depend on the quality of the matrix and doping interfaces involved. These may be adversely affected by profile smearing of Ge and the dopant. A study of boron incorporation in SiGe, as a function of substrate temperature and Ge fraction, shows a marked difference in profile smearing for boron in Si and in the SiGe alloy. This is shown to be associated with a reduction in the temperature for transition from equilibrium to kinetically limited accumulation in the alloy.
