Popis: We have investigated the selective growth of a Ge1− x Sn x epitaxial layer on a line/space-patterned SiO2/Si substrate by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition. We examined the behavior of a Sn precursor of tributyl(vinyl)tin (TBVSn) during the growth on Si and SiO2 substrates and investigated the effect of the Sn precursor on the selective growth. The selective growth of the Ge1− x Sn x epitaxial layer was performed under various total pressures and growth temperatures of 300 and 350 °C. The selective growth of the Ge1− x Sn x epitaxial layer on the patterned Si region is achieved at a low total pressure without Ge1− x Sn x growth on the SiO2 region. In addition, we found that the Sn content in the Ge1− x Sn x epitaxial layer increases with width of the SiO2 region for a fixed Si width even with low total pressure. To control the Sn content in the selective growth of the Ge1− x Sn x epitaxial layer, it is important to suppress the decomposition and migration of Sn and Ge precursors.
