Abstract | We use a novel wafer bending technique to study band alignment under applied uniaxial stress in Si₁₋yCy/Si and Si₁₋xGex/Si₁₋yCy/Si heterostructures. We confirm a type I alignment for Si₁₋yCy/Si and report the first observation of an elastic strain induced type I to type II transition in Si₁₋yCy/Si quantum wells. Results for a Si₀.₈₄Ge₀.₁₆/Si₀.₉₉C₀.₀₁/Si structure support a type II transition between the SiGe valence band and the SiC conduction band. These results also indicate a conduction band offset of at most 65% of the band gap difference for Si₁₋yCy/Si with y = 0.5% or 1%. |
