Journal of Applied Physics 104 (8) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3003081 | Abstract: | Synthesis of germanium (Ge) nanocrystals embedded in silicon oxide matrix was carried out on cosputtered Ge plus silicon oxide films deposited on the surface of silicon (Si) wafer etched with V- or U-grooves. The V- or U-grooves were fabricated via the laser interference lithography technique. We found that the substrate geometry has a significant influence on the distribution of the Ge nanocrystals in the silicon oxide matrix. The variation in the distribution of the nanocrystals in the silicon oxide matrix may be due to defective oxide regions caused by sputter deposited silicon oxide film on the V- or U-grooves or may also be related to the different strain fields in the oxide layer. © 2008 American Institute of Physics. | Source Title: | Journal of Applied Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/56330 | ISSN: | 00218979 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.3003081 |
