The n-Si/i-p-i SiGe/n-Si structure, grown by ultra-high-vacuum chemical molecular epitaxy, was analyzed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. It is shown that no defects are observed in the n-Si/i-p-i SiGe/n-Si structure, the interfaces between the SiGe layer and the n-Si layers are clear and planar, both the Ge and boron atoms are uniformly distributed in the p-SiGe, and the profiles of boron and Ge are abrupt from the n-Si to the SiGe layer. A high-performance microwave power SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor was fabricated using the n-Si/i-p-i SiGe/n-Si structure. Therefore, ultra-high-vacuum chemical molecular epitaxy is one of the most promising methods for the growth of the Si/SiGe strained epilayers. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
