Abstract

Si/Si1-x-yGexCy/Si quantum well heterostructures grown by UH CVD have been characterized in terms of structural and optical properties. The Schottky barrier height (SBH) and ideality factor (n) of PtSi/p-Si1-x-yGexCy/Si diodes have been investigated using the currentvoltage (I-V) characteristics. The valence band offsets (ΔEv) of Si/Si0.795Ge0.2C0.005 and Si/ Si0.79Ge0.2C0.01have been extracted using the Schottky diode measurements. A lower value of SBH (φb) has been observed in the ternary alloy compared to those in fully strained-Si1-xGex films (with same lattice mismatch to Si) indicating the potential of former for long wavelength IR detection
