| contents | Ultraviolet nanosecond laser annealing (UV-NLA) proves to be an important technique, particularly when tightly controlled heating and melting are necessary. In the realm of semiconductor technologies, the significance of nanosecond laser annealing (NLA) grows in tandem with the escalating intricacy of integration schemes in nano-scaled devices. Silicon-germanium alloys have been studied for decades for their compatibility with silicon devices. Indeed, they enable the manipulation of properties like strain, carrier mobilities and bandgap. In this framework, they can for instance boost the performances of p-type MOSFETs but also enable near infra-red absorption and emission for applications in photo-detection and photonics. Laser melting on such type of layers, however results, up to now, in the development of extended defects and poor control over layer morphology and homogeneity. In our study, we investigate the laser melting of ~700 nm thick relaxed silicon-germanium samples coated with SiO2 nano-arrays, observing the resulting material to maintain an unaltered lattice. We found the geometrical parameters of the silicon oxide having an impact on the thermal budget samples see, influencing melt threshold, melt depth and germanium distribution. |
