Abstract

Single wavelength ellipsometry was used to monitor the CVD growth of Si(1-x)Gex alloys onSi and to evaluate the effect of sample irradiation by KrF laser pulses, performed during or afterthe CVD growth. The information obtained was correlated with AFM analysis results in order tooptimize the growth parameters for an improved morphological quality of the alloy layers.
