研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of highly doped and high quality Ge layers for advancements in nanoelectronics, photonics and radiation detectors.
研究成果
The combination of deposition via sputtering or evaporation of Sb followed by pulsed laser melting is a winning strategy to obtain both high incorporation levels and remarkable activation of the dopant, up to 3x1020cm-3 electron concentration. The obtained material has good crystalline quality and does not show sign of extended defects, allowing for record low resistivity of 1.4x10-4 Ohm cm and record low plasma wavelength of 2.6 μm, which might provide a breakthrough for nanoelectronic and plasmonic applications based on Ge.
研究不足
The study focuses on the fabrication of highly doped Ge layers using Sb deposition and PLM, but does not explore the potential for scalability or integration into existing semiconductor manufacturing processes.
