Abstract

Strain relaxation in epitaxial Si-Ge structures induced by ion beam bombardment has been studied using a He+ channeling technique. It is shown that hot ion beam bombardment (230°C, Si+ ions with energy 200 keV and fluence 6·1013 ion/cm2) of thin strained Si-Ge layers results in partial strain relaxation. A model of the strain relaxation induced by radiation damage is proposed.
