Abstract

Particles are observed at the epitaxial layer-substrate Interface of silicon MBE layers when Improper pre—deposition cleaning methods are used. HRTEM shows that the particles In our material are 5 nm to 10 nm In size, and Molre fringe patterns suggest the material Is crystal line. Using a combination of SIMS, HRTEM, and x-ray microanalysis methods, It Is concluded that the Interfacial particles In our material contain carbon and not oxygen, and are beta-SiC growing epitaxially with the silicon.
