Photoconductivity mechanism in structures with Ge-nanoclusters grown on Si(100) surface

Interband optical transitions in the epitaxial Si/Ge heterostructures with Ge
 nanoislands grown on Si(100) surface were investigated using photocurrent
 spectroscopy. The mechanism of photoconductivity was discussed. It was shown that

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Interband optical transitions in the epitaxial Si/Ge heterostructures with Ge
 nanoislands grown on Si(100) surface were investigated using photocurrent
 spectroscopy. The mechanism of photoconductivity was discussed. It was shown that
 electron transitions from the ground state of the valence band in a quantum dot to the
 conduction band of Si surrounding make the main contribution into monopolar
 photoconductivity below the fundamental absorption edge of crystalline Si. Photoexcited
 holes were found to be localized in Ge nanoislands inducing the lateral conductivity
 changes in the near-surface depletion layer of p-Si substrate due to the field-effect.
