Electrical peculiarities in Al/Si/Ge/... /Ge/Si and Al/SiGe/Si structures

• The current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) behaviour of different Si/Ge multilayers and SiGe single layers prepared on p-type Si substrates by magnetron sputtering and annealing, has been studied in the temperature rang, of 80-320 K by using Al Schottky contacts as test structures. Although a significant influence of the microstructure of the Si/Ge multilayers and SiGe layers was obtained on the electrical behaviour of the structures, the structures exhibited similar specific features.
