Band Edge Model of (101)-Biaxial Strained Si

Abstract
A band edge model in (101)-biaxial strained Si on relaxed Si1-xGex alloy,or monoclinic Si (m-Si),is presented using the k·p perturbation method coupled with deformation potential theory.Results show that the [001],[001],[100],[100] valleys constitute the conduction band (CB) edge,which moves up in electron energy as the Ge fraction (x) increases.Furthermore,the CB splitting energy is in direct proportion to x and all the valence band (VB) edges move up in electron energy as x increases.In addition,the decrease in the indirect bandgap and the increase in the VB edge splitting energy as x increases are found.The quantitative data from the models supply valuable references for the design of the devices.-
