MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

We investigate, for the first time, the possibility to crystallize heavily Ge and C implanted silicon substrates by excimer-laser annealing performed in the molten regime. It is demonstrated that the crystalline quality of the laser grown SiGeC alloys strongly depends on the initial dose of implanted carbon.
