abstract = {The chemical composition of four SiGex layers grown on
silicon was determined from quantitative scanning
transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The chemical
analysis was performed by a comparison of the high-angle
annular dark field (HAADF) intensity with multislice
simulations. It could be shown that amorphous surface layers
originating from the preparation process by focused-ion beam
(FIB) at 30 kV have a strong influence on the
quantification: the local specimen thickness is
overestimated by approximately a factor of two, and the
germanium concentration is substantially underestimated. By
means of simulations, the effect of amorphous surface layers
on the HAADF intensity of crystalline silicon and germanium
is investigated. Based on these simulations, a method is
developed to analyze the experimental HAADF-STEM images by
taking the influence of the amorphous layers into account
which is done by a reduction of the intensities by
multiplication with a constant factor. This suggested
modified HAADF analysis gives germanium concentrations which
are in agreement with the nominal values. The same TEM
lamella was treated with low-voltage ion milling which
removed the amorphous surface layers completely. The results
from subsequent quantitative HAADF analyses are in agreement
with the nominal concentrations which validates the
applicability of the used frozen-lattice based multislice
simulations to describe the HAADF scattering of SiGex in
STEM.},
