Abstract

Temperature dependent Capacitance‐Voltage (TCV) and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) techniques were used to study how Ge Quantum Dots (QDs) embedded in Silicon trap charge. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is used to obtain the density of QDs, which is in the order of 3×1011 cm−2. Three shallow levels, with activation energies of 40, 65 and 90 meV, and densities around 1016 cm−3, are found and are related to Boron. Four deep levels, with activation energies of 110, 150, 330 and 380 meV, and densities between 2×1015 cm−3 and 5×1015 cm−3, are also found. TCV results suggest they are related to the Ge QDs.
