Abstract

Single crystalline germanium islands on SiO2 have been formed by zone melting with graphite strip heaters. Two types of geometrical patterns for islands were successfully used to obtain large single crystalline islands. Most germanium islands were found to be single crystal and the predominant orientation was (100). Electron concentrations of 1016 - 1018/cm3 with Hall mobility of 3 × 103 − 1 × 103 cm2 /Vsec were obtained for single crystalline germanium islands. Gallium Arsenide layers, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, on the germanium islands were found to emit photoluminescence, the intensity of which was almost comparable to that of gallium arsenide layers on bulk germanium crystals.
