Ge {delta}-layers on Si(111) and Si(001), grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and solid phase epitaxy (SPE) were characterized in-situ by high-resolution low-energy electron-diffraction and post-growth by x-ray standing waves. LEED intensity oscillations are used to determine the growth mode of Ge on Si which is found to proceed in a double bilayer fashion for Ge on Si(111). X-ray standing waves are employed to investigate crystal quality of the Ge layer. SPE on Si(111) requires high annealing temperatures (600 C) for sufficient recrystallization of defects in the Ge {delta}-layer. On Si(001), Ge {delta}-layers of surprisingly high crystalline quality are grown by solid phase epitaxy at room temperature.
