1 – Introduction<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the basic directions in development <strong>of</strong> modern microelectronics is elaboration <strong>of</strong> new methods <strong>of</strong><br />
nanosize structure formation and implementation <strong>of</strong> nanoelectronic components in devices.<br />
2 – Abstract<br />
The study <strong>of</strong> self-assembling nano-cones induced by irradiation <strong>of</strong> nanosecond Nd:YAG laser pulses on a<br />
surface <strong>of</strong> a Si1-xGex solid solution is reported. It is shown that dynamics <strong>of</strong> nano-cones formation depends<br />
on concentration <strong>of</strong> Ge atoms (x) in Si lattice and on the intensity <strong>of</strong> laser radiation (LR).<br />
Two different processes <strong>of</strong> nano-cones formation depending on x are observed. The first one - at higher<br />
concentration <strong>of</strong> Ge atoms x = 0.3-0.4 and the second one - at lower concentration <strong>of</strong> Ge atoms at x=0.15<br />
take place.<br />
At the first stage, similar processes <strong>of</strong> nano-cones formation occur. It means, at low intensity <strong>of</strong> LR<br />
I2.0 MW/cm2 nano-cones formation takes place by Stransky- Krastanov mode. On the<br />
contrary, at lower concentration <strong>of</strong> Ge atoms cones look like “tree ring” [2] growth due to melting <strong>of</strong> Ge<br />
separated islands on the irradiated surface at intensity <strong>of</strong> LR I=20 MW/cm2.<br />
3 – Conclusion<br />
Nano-cones formation on the irradiated surface <strong>of</strong> SiGe strongly depends on concentration <strong>of</strong> Ge atoms and<br />
on intensity <strong>of</strong> laser radiation which can be used for the control <strong>of</strong> the shape and size <strong>of</strong> nanostructures.<br />
