Abstract
The three stacked Si1-yCy layers with various carbon compositions have been grown by a gas-source MBE system at a temperature of 620degC. The structure is a promising candidate as a virtual substrate for the growth of a compressively-strained Si layer on Si in order to enhance the electron mobility towards the vertical direction. The (004) XRD pattern of the sample consisted of three peaks from the Si1-yCy layers and the relaxation of the layers was confirmed. From (115) reciprocal lattice space map, the relaxation ratio of the three layers was calculated and it was found that the ratios were 0, 12 and 60% from the bottom layer to the top layer. These results showed the high potential of the structure as a vertical substrate for the Si technology
