  • Abstract
    Nonstoichiometric Si1-xGex films fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with different flounce ratios are demonstrated to show the composition ratio dependent optical properties, including refractive index, bandgap and optical absorption. By increasing the fluence ratio from 0.2 to 0.5, the refractive index of Si1-xGex film raises from 3.527 to 3.927, with the absorption coefficient enlarging from <;<;1cm-1 to 31.12 cm-1.
