Controls of diffusion and segregation of group IV element (Si, Ge) through a thin metal layer from a stacked structure is one of the effective techniques to grow an ultrathin crystal and a 2D crystal. In this study, a 30 nm-thick Al and Ag layer was deposited on an 85 nm-thick heteroepitaxial Si0.2Ge0.8(111) layer, and the surface segregation of Si and Ge atoms by annealing was evaluated by PES and XPS analyses. Segregated Si and Ge on Al surface were covered with Al oxide layer, and oxidation of segregated Ge on Al was hardly detected after annealing.
