Interface and surface segregation of germanium in the SiGe semiconductor

Microstructural Characterisation and Compound Formation in Rapidly Solidified Sige Alloy

“…SiGe alloys are in high demand owing to their extensive use in optoelectronics and the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology [1]. Moreover, the recent years have witnessed considerable progress in the use of Si in solar cells [2], SiGe alloys in thermoelectric applications [3], and quantum devices [4].…”
