Silicon-Germanium-tin (SiGeSn) alloys are gaining popularity due to their potential applications in photonics, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and thermoelectrics. To accomplish this, it is critical to accurately assess the effect of composition, strain, and deposition method on the crystal quality. Raman spectroscopy as an experimental tool for probing vibrational modes allows a detailed study of these qualitites. Here we investigate the role of Sn incorporation on the vibrational properties of (Si)GeSn epitaxial layers using polarized Raman spectroscopy and numerical simulations. The nature of the disordered-assisted spectral feature can be ascertained through a comparative analysis. It comprises two modes: one associated with the vibration of Ge atoms that Sn neighbors do not impact, and the disorder activating specific mode. This provides a framework for understanding the vibrational properties in SiGeSn alloys, particularly concerning the impact of the local ordering of different atomic species.
