To realize next-generation electronics, germanium crystal growth on insulating substrates is attracting attention due to its high carrier mobility, and further improvement of carrier mobility is anticipated by applying tensile strain to germanium. We have previously realized highly tensile-strained germanium films on insulating substrates using a high speed continuous wave laser annealing process. This letter reports how we characterized the grown films using electron diffraction backscatter measurements and discovered an interesting self-organized <1 0 0> direction type of growth that results from scanning the annealing laser at high speed. Dominant {1 1 0} oriented films were obtained in this way. This phenomenon is discussed below from the viewpoint of surface energy.
