Abstract

We report the evaluation of 3-dimensional strain distribution in self-aligned SiGe nanoshells that were created by the Ge nanospheres (NPs) penetrating into the Si substrate using a novel selective oxidation of SiGe nanopillars approach. The Ge content and strain distribution in the shell-shaped SiGe nanosheet appear to have a monotonic increase with the depth of penetration of Ge NPs into the Si layer, which are controlled by the thermal oxidation process.
