Silicon Germanium FAQs

Researcher SiGe Question:

Do you supply Si0.1Ge0.9 films on Si Substrates? I am looking for a 2µm thick relaxed film. If yes: Do you know the threading dislocation density on top of the Silicon Germanium SiGe-Film? Is possible to do epitaxy on top of this surface?

Silicon Germanium Answer:

2um thick "Si0.1Ge0.9" film with Ge composition too high and too thick,it not do able. 

2um thick Ge on Silicon wafer is ok to supply

What is the pricing on a 4" Silicon Germanium SiGe film?

Researcher Question:

What is the pricing on a 4" SiGe film, 50nm thick, on a Silicon Wafer? Would the price change if the SiGe film was 30nm or 20nm thick?, 50nm thick, on a Silicon Wafer? Would the price change if the SiGe film was 30nm or 20nm thick?


SiGe Film Answer:

Yes,the price will change a little while the SiGe film thickness changes,pls confirm the Ge composition and the order qty. per the item, after this,we shall give you a quote.

Is the Composition of Silicon Germanium (SiGe) Conrollable?

I was wondering is the composition of the thin film controllable? saying SiGe, Si3Ge1 and Si1Ge3.

I am interested in the product of SiGe on Si wafer. I was wondering is the composition of the thin film controllable? saying SiGe, Si3Ge1 and Si1Ge3. Can I get a quotation for the following wafers?

1 um thick SiGe film on Si wafer (4') *2
1 um thick Si3Ge1 film on Si wafer (4') *2
1 um thick Si1Ge3 film on Si wafer (4') *2
100 nm thick SiGe film on Si wafer (4') *2
100 nm thick Si3Ge1 film on Si wafer (4') *2
100 nm thick Si1Ge3 film on Si wafer (4') *2

If the composition is not controllable, please also send me a quotation for the following wafers.

10 um thick SiGe film on Si wafer *4
1 um thick SiGe film on Si wafer *4
100 nm thick SiGe film on Si wafer *4

Schematic apparatus of transient conductance measurement. The dc voltage was applied to the samples. The transient current was measured by 1-GHz high-speed digital oscilloscope.

SiGe Thin Film Answer:

The composition is controllable, just "Si1Ge3" the Ge composition is high,the SiGe layer thickness can not achieve 100nm,what about "Si2Ge2"?

Si1Ge3, SiGe and Si3Ge means the Si/Ge ratio in the thin film is 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1 respectively. What's the thinnest thickness you can make? Actually we only need 1-2 pieces for each film.

Can you Depost Silicon Germanium (SiGe) film on Silicon wafer?

Researcher asks:

I wanted SiGe film on Silicon wafer, not Si-on-Ge-on-Silicon wafer. Different compositions means different concentrations of Ge in SiGe film. Please take a quick look at the paper attached in which they controlled the Ge concentration to 20, 40, 60 and 80%.

Si3Ge: concentration of Ge in SiGe film is 25%
SiGe: concentration of Ge in SiGe film is 50%
SiGe3: concentration of Ge in SiGe film is 75%

If 75% Ge is too high for your synthesis, 25 and 50% also work for us.
Hope this makes things clear.

How would you compare and contrast silicon germanium and gallium arsenide as semiconductor material?

Silicon germanium (SiGe) is an alloy epitaxial wafer, it's has a higher cost for semiconductor IC, etc. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a lower cost substrate for LED, LD applications, or related epitaxial growth.
