Epitaxial thickness during low-temperature Si(001) growth: effect of substrate vicinality

Epitaxial thickness $t_e(T_s)$ of Si films grown at the substrate temperature $T_s$=80~30$0^{\circ}C$ by ultra-high vacuum ion-beam sputter deposition onto nominally-singular, [100]-miscut Si(001) was measured. $t_e(T_s)$ values of films grown on vicinal Si(001) substrates were decreases compared to those of films grown on nominally-singular Si(001). Evolution of surface roughness measured by atomic force microscopy of films grown at $300^{\circ}C$ showed that the increases step density in vicinal substrates increases the tendency toward unstable growth resulting in larger surface roughness, which in turn decreases te.
