In this study, heteroepitaxial growth of Ge on nanostructured Si surfaces has been investigated. Thermally evaporated amorphous Ge films are vacuum-deposited and crystallized by thermal annealing at 1000 °C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), spectroscopy (RS), infrared (IR) transmission, and Raman methods are used to characterize amorphous and crystalline Ge films. SEM analysis reveals presence of dominant features including cracks, microscopic roughness, and islands. RS exhibits strong multiple peaks attributed to crystalline structures related to Si-Ge at ∼ 444 cm-1 and Ge at 300 cm-1; narrow and stronger peaks are observed in thermally annealed films. A comparison of IR transmission measurements in 900-1700-nm spectral range shows that amorphous film absorption is significantly higher than that of crystalline films consistent with respective bandgaps. A more detailed analysis including EDX and XRD measurements will be presented at the conference. 2016-03-22T02:00:27Z 2016-03-22T02:00:27Z 2014-10-15 Article 2014 IEEE 40th Photovoltaic Specialist Conference, PVSC 2014, pages 0198-0201 978-147994398-2 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41177 10.1109/PVSC.2014.6925565 en IEEE 40th Photovoltaic Specialist Conference; Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
