Abstract

The interaction of thin Pd films deposited on strained layers of Si1-xGex epitaxially grown on Si(100) was studied. A highly textured, ternary compound (Pd2Si1-yGey) formed concurrently with the PdGe phase, at annealing temperatures between 200 and 550°C. Above 550°C, a region of high Ge concentration formed between the fully reacted compound region and the unreacted Si1-xGex layer. Current-voltage investigations showed that Pd on Si1-xGex samples have a lower Schottky barrier height than Pd on pure Si.
