Abstract
The application of aluminum-induced layer exchange (ALILE) to crystallize amorphous silicon-germanium alloys to study the fabrication of poly Si 1-x Gex layers on glass was discussed. It was observed that the bilayer structure of aluminum was deposited on quartz substrates and were annealed below the eutectic temperature of the binary Al-Ge alloy. Two techniques, elastic recoil detection and Raman spectroscopy were also used for structural characterization. The results show that the ALILE method was suitable for the deposition of large area poly-Si1-x thin films on the glass substrates.
