Nucleation and growth of ordered groups of SiGe quantum dots

Journal Article Zinovyev, V. A., E-mail: zinoviev@isp.nsc.ru ; Dvurechenskii, A. V. ; Kuchinskaya, P. A. ; ... - Semiconductors

An approach for the formation of ordered groups of Ge nanoislands (quantum dots, QDs) upon epitaxial growth on the surface of a heterostructure constituted by a Si (100) substrate having preliminarily formed seeds in the form of disk-like SiGe nanomounds is developed. It is found that the observed arrangement of QDs within a group is due to the anisotropic elastic-strain energy distribution on the surface of a SiGe nanomound, namely, to the existence of four local energy minima arranged in an ordered manner along the [100] and [010] directions with respect to the seed center.

Periodic arrays of epitaxial self-assembled SiGe quantum dot molecules grown on patterned Si substrates

Journal Article Gray, J L ; Hull, R ; Floro, J A ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Ex situ focused ion-beam (FIB) patterning of arrays of holes on Si (001) substrates results in the subsequent formation of SiGe quantum dot molecules at each of the patterned sites during heteroepitaxial growth under kinetically limited growth conditions where island formation is constrained. These quantum dot molecules are fourfold self-assembled island nanostructures bound by a central pit. During growth, material is ejected from the patterned sites forming the pits that in turn provide favorable sites for the cooperative nucleation of (105) faceted islands. The degree of order and quality of the resulting structures depend on many factors including growth temperature,more »« less

SiGe quantum dot molecules grown on patterned Si (001) substrates

Journal Article Hongbin, Yang ; Xiangjiu, Zhang ; Zuiming, Jiang ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

SiGe quantum dot molecules (QDMs) grown on patterned Si (001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy were studied. Experimental results showed that the density, the dimension, and the dimension distribution of the SiGe QDMs grown in the windows were dependent on the window size. When the thickness of the Si{sub 0.8}Ge{sub 0.2} film was 40 nm, QDMs only appeared in the unpatterned areas of the Si substrate and none could be found inside the windows of 6x6 {mu}m{sup 2} on the same substrate. However, when the thickness of Si{sub 0.8}Ge{sub 0.2} film was increased to 80 nm, QDMs appeared both insidemore »« less

Gigantic uphill diffusion during self-assembled growth of Ge quantum dots on strained SiGe sublayers

Journal Article Valakh, M Ya ; Lytvyn, P M ; Nikolenko, A S ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Raman spectroscopy and atomic-force microscopy were applied to study the morphology of nanoislands grown on strained Si{sub 1-x}Ge{sub x} sublayers. It was shown that the growth of nanoislands on strained Si{sub 1-x}Ge{sub x} sublayer not only induces the effect of their spatial ordering but also enhances the role of interdiffusion processes. Unusual high island volume increase during the epitaxy is explained by anomalous strong material diffusion from the sublayer into the islands, induced by nonuniform field of elastic strains.

Modeling Si/SiGe quantum dot variability induced by interface disorder reconstructed from multiperspective microscopy

Journal Article Peña, Luis Fabián ; Koepke, Justine C. ; Dycus, Joseph Houston ; ... - npj Quantum Information

Abstract SiGe heteroepitaxial growth yields pristine host material for quantum dot qubits, but residual interface disorder can lead to qubit-to-qubit variability that might pose an obstacle to reliable SiGe-based quantum computing. By convolving data from scanning tunneling microscopy and high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy, we reconstruct 3D interfacial atomic structure and employ an atomistic multi-valley effective mass theory to quantify qubit spectral variability. The results indicate (1) appreciable valley splitting (VS) variability of ~50% owing to alloy disorder and (2) roughness-induced double-dot detuning bias energy variability of order 1–10 meV depending on well thickness. For measured intermixing, atomicmore »« less
