Low temperature and short duration anneals in vacuum resulted in Ge nanocrystals whereas prolonged anneals at higher temperatures resulted in Ge nanocrystals accompanied with SiGe formation at the SiNx/Si interface. Raman Scattering Spectroscopy was extensively used to track the formation of various phonon modes during the diffusion of Ge through SiNx and into the Si substrate.
