Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the length of the 2xN superstructure during epitaxial growth of Ge on Si (001) at different synthesis temperatures in the range from 200 °C to 750 °C. The analysis took place during the growth process by reflection high-energy electron diffraction in the direction of [110]. The work makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of elastic stress relief due to 2xN at the initial stages of growth over a wide temperature range.
