[15p-P8-4] Effect of background charge and plane stress on dopant stability in Ge thin film / Si substrate structure
Keywords:Density functional theory, Germanium on Silicon, Dopant
Ge (001) thin film grown on Si substrate with p(2×2) surface dimer structure was investigated focusing on the stability of dopant atoms by using first principles calculation. Ga atoms in Ge thin film were showing higher formation energy than that of in bulk and Si surface model, But the opposite results were obtained for C atoms. It was considered the effects of background charge and plane stress on dopant stability as the reasons.
