Abstract

Relaxed Si_1−yC_yand Si-lattice-matched Si_1−x−yGe_xC_yalloys with low C concentrations of 1.6% and 3.1% have been studied from first principles. The bottom of the conduction bands in relaxed Si_1−yC_ylies on the line Δ, as it does in Si. The band gap is linearly dependent on the C concentration and the reduction is as little as −0.9y eV On the other hand, Si-lattice-matched Si_1−x−yGe_xC_yhas a direct gap and the band gap is reduced by−3.9y eV from that in relaxed Si_1−x−yGe_xThe free energy of Si_1−x−yGe_xC_yshows that the atoms are arranged at random, however, this arrangement does not affect the result for the band gap in the alloy.
