Study demonstrates enhanced laser performance in Group-IV materials, suggesting future advancements in technologies.
Group-IV materials constitute the foundational platform for advancing silicon-based photonics, spintronic, and energy technologies.[1] Recent breakthrough in the field includes the demonstration of continues-wave electrically pumped lasing based on advanced (Si)GeSn/GeSn MQWs.[2] Theoretical calculations predicts that the C substitution into Ge lattice even enhance the directness of band gap leading to laser performance improvement.[3] In this study, we address the growth aspects of ternary and quaternary Group-IV alloys, in comparison with GeSn epitaxy, which serve as benchmark. Additionally, an unconventional carbon precursor - CBr4 is introduced and its chemical influence on onset Sn alloying for CGeSn alloys is presented. Later, the Si induce defect engineering to compensate the effect of C alloying on strain relaxation in diamond cubic lattice during (Si)GeSn epitaxy is studied.
