Abstract
The article presents a study for liquid phase diffusion (LPD) growth of compositionally graded, germanium-rich SixGe1âx single crystals of 25Â mm in diameter for use as lattice-matched substrates for the growth of SixGe1âx single crystals by liquid phase electropitaxy (LPEE), or traveling heater method (THM). Grown crystals were characterized by microscopic examination after chemical etching for delineation of the degree of single crystallinity and growth striations. Compositional mapping of selected crystals was performed by using electron probe micro analysis (EPMA) as well as energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). It was shown that the LPD technique can be utilized to obtain SixGe1âx single crystals up to 6-8 at% Si with uniform radial composition distribution.
