Abstract

Germanium nanoparticle nucleation was studied in organized arrays on HfO2 using a SiO2 thin film mask with ∼20-24 nm pores and a 6×1010 cm-2 pore density. Poly(styrene-b- methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer was employed to pattern the SiO 2 film. Hot wire chemical vapor deposition produced Ge nanoparticles using 4-19 monolayer Ge exposures. By seeding adatoms on HfO2 at room temperature before growth and varying growth temperatures between 725-800 K, nanoparticle size was demonstrated to be limited by Ge etching of SiO 2 pore walls.
