Wet-chemical growth of an ultra-thin silicon oxide film and its composition and thickness measured by SRPES

Abstract

An ultra-thin oxide film was obtained by oxidizing the H-terminated Si(001) surface by absolute C{sub 2}H{sub 5}OH solution. AFM observations showed that surface of the oxide film was very flat. Synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SRPES) analysis demonstrated that the oxide film was mainly composed of SiO{sub 2}, with an average thickness of about 0.24 nm. At 500 degree C of the substrate temperature, Ge quantum dots (QDs) of 9.5x10{sup 10} cm{sup -2} in density and (25 {+-} 5) nm in size were grown successfully on the SiO2 film. The result indicates that the SiO{sub 2} film made by wet-chemical method can act as epitaxial surface to grow Ge QDs of decreased size and increased density. (authors)
