Abstract

The luminescence of short period Si/Ge superlattices was systematically studied as a function of composition, strain and superlattice period. With Rutherford backscattering spectrometry the composition was determined, while X-ray diffraction was used to determine the strain and superlattice period. Two luminescence bands around 1,6 µm were observed. Etching experiments showed that the signal originated from the superlattice. Changes in wavelength and intensity were found to be related to the composition and the strain, while no clear influence of the superlattice period was observed.
