Abstract

The photoluminescence spectra of GeSi/Si (0 0 1) self-assembled islands produced by solid source molecular beam epitaxy in a wide range (460–700°C) of growth temperatures were investigated. The results showed a blue shift of the island-related photoluminescence peak with a growth temperature lowering from 600°C to 550°C. The observed blue shift of the island photoluminescence peak is associated with a sharp decrease in the average height of the island, which occurs through a change of its shape from dome to hut as the growth temperature lowers from 600°C to 550°C.
