Abstract

3C-SiC/Si structures with Ge incorporation are elaborated by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE). A comparison of the flatness of the SiC-surface and the interface between SiC and Si by comparing the deposition with and without Ge is made. The results are analyzed within the framework of a theoretical approach based on the theory of elasticity.
