SiGe p-channel heteroepitaxial MOS transistor test structures, fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy, have been investigated using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss imaging. Using these techniques, we have been able, for the first time, to quantitatively determine the nanoscale Ge distribution across a typical SiGe alloy channel. The Ge profile across the alloy channel was found to be asymmetrical due to the occurrence of segregation, with an exponential-like distribution directed towards the surface. The results match closely with the Ge profile predicted by segregation theory.
