Ge_1−xSn_x alloys are an excellent candidate for developing mid-infrared light sources integrated with CMOS technology. The challenges in the controlled growth with high crystal quality have highlighted the peculiarity of these alloys, which can be monitored by their vibrational properties. To this purpose, Raman spectroscopy is an effective experimental method to determine these properties, as this technique is non-destructive, contactless, fast, and locally resolved. We use Raman scattering with different polarization configurations to investigate Ge_1−xSn_x (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.14) alloys grown by Chemical Vapour Deposition on Ge/Si virtual substrates. Measurements were performed in backscattering geometry with parallel and cross polarizations. In this way, we identify multiple components in the vibrational modes and how they deviate from simplified models. Our results will help to understand the fundamental properties of Ge_1−xSn_x alloys to enable fast assessment for their applications in optoelectronic and thermoelectric.
