Au induced lateral crystallization of amorphous Ge with stress stimulation at 130 ○C

The effect of stress stimulation on gold (Au) induced lateral crystallization (GILC) of amorphous Ge on insulating substrates is investigated. As a result, the GILC is significantly enhanced by using compressive residual stresses of up to 200 MPa in TEOS-SiO2. In addition, it is found that the annea...
