Ge(GeCx) and SiC(SiCGex) nanodots were formed on Si(001)2o off substrates after the formation of Si c(4×4) structure using monomethylgermane (MMGe). Surface structure of the Ge(GeCx) and SiC(SiCGex) nanodots was measured by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). From the quantitative analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it was estimated that the Ge(GeCx) and SiC(SiCGex) nanodots existed in the ratio of about 1 : 2.4. SiC capping layer was formed on the Ge(GeCx), SiC(SiCGex) nanodots generated at 550∼650oC using monomethylsilane (MMSi). Photoluminescence (PL) spectra from the SiC/Ge (GeCx), SiC(SiCGex) dots/SiCx stacked structure were also measured.
