Abstract

Spectroscopic ellipsometry(SE) was employed to characterize the Si/$Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ heterostructure. The dielectric function spectrum of $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ at an arbitrary x value in the spectral range of $1.5{\sim}4.5\;eV$ was computed by EMA (effective medium approximation) model using the available optical constants measured at a number of fixed x values of Ge composition. The thickness and the Ge composition of $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ measured by SE was compared with those measured by RBS. DC bias effect on the $E_2$ peak of dielectric function spectra was studied.
