Group IV elements (Si, Ge) have been historically used in the semiconductor industry, especially in the manufacture of planar and, more recently, three-dimensional (3D) structures (FinFET, Nanosheet FET, Gate-all-Around FET). Manufacturing processes are becoming more and more complex, and such complexity drives an evolution in characterization providing extensive information about material properties (stress measurements, crystallinity, phase extraction) allowing process stabilization at the R&D stage.
Application: 2D/3D transistors, photovoltaics
