Pseudomorph epitaxial films of Si{sub 1−x}Ge{sub x}:B were grown on undoped (100) Si for x ≤ 0.026 and the B concentration of 1.3 × 10{sup 20} cm{sup −3}.The in-plane and out-of-plane lattice constants were determined using the X-ray techniques for 004 symmetric and 224 asymmetric diffraction. The influence of B and Ge co-doping has been detected in reflectance and ellipsometric spectra from infrared to ultraviolet. Free-hole plasma and Fano-type resonances of Si phonons and localized {sup 11}B and {sup 10}B vibrations have been observed. The spectral shift of E{sub 1} electronic transitions has been quantified. We found a simple way to test the variations of Ge content using relative reflectance spectra.
