Abstract

Concerning the oxidation behavior of Si _1-xGex (x = 0.15, 0.3) nanowires at high temperature, Si _1-xGex nanowires were thermally oxidized for various lengths of time compared with Si nanowires, Si and Si _1-xGex thin films. The structural and compositional properties of the oxidized nanowires were characterized using several transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which confirm that the oxidation rates of Si _1-xGex and Si (silicon) nanowires were saturated with increasing oxidation time due to retarding behavior, while the oxidation rate of Si _1-xGex nanowires were faster than that of Si nanowires. In addition, the differences in Ge (germanium) content and stress distribution contribute to the observed differences in oxidation behavior.
