Abstract

At room temperature deposited Ge films (thickness < 3 nm) homogeneously wet CaF 2 /Si(1 1 1). The films are crystalline but exhibit granular structure. The grain size decreases with increasing film thickness. The quality of the homogeneous films is improved by annealing up to 200 °C. Ge films break up into islands if higher annealing temperatures are used as demonstrated combining spot profile analysis low energy electron diffraction (SPA-LEED) with auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Annealing up to 600 °C reduces the lateral size of the Ge islands while the surface fraction covered by Ge islands is constant. The CaF 2 film is decomposed if higher annealing temperatures are used. This effect is probably due to the formation of GeF x complexes which desorb at these temperatures.
