Abstract

The lowest direct absorption edge E0 in ternary Ge 1-x-ySixSny alloys was measured in films grown lattice-matched to Ge using spectroscopic ellipsometry and photoreflectance. The sample choice is dictated by possible applications of Ge1-x-ySi xSny in photovoltaics as the long-sought ∼1 eV gap material to complement Ge/InGaAs/InGaP multijunctions. The compositional dependence of the E0 transition is analyzed in detail.
