Abstract
Amorphous (a) Si{sub 1{minus}x}Ge{sub x} films with x = 0.27--0.55 about 200--300 nm thick and highly doped with Ga (1%), were molecular-beam deposited on SiO{sub 2}/Si(001) substrates at room temperature. For crystallization at 600 to 900 C a-Si{sub 1{minus}x}Ge{sub x}/SiO{sub 2}/Si samples were annealed in vacuum at 10{sup {minus}6} Torr. X-ray diffraction and in situ TEM observations revealed a nanocrystalline structure in Si{sub 1{minus}x}Ge{sub x} films with grain size of about 5--20 nm which is 100 times smaller than undoped films. The nanocrystalline Si{sub 1{minus}x}Ge{sub x} films showed a high hole mobility (1 to 100 cm{sup 2}/Vs) and Seebeck coefficient values (5 to 110 {micro}V/K).
