We show that high quality tensile-strained n-doped germanium films can be obtained on InGaAs buffer layers using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition with isobutyl germane as germanium precursor. A tensile strain up to 0.5% is achieved, simultaneously measured by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The effect of tensile strain on band gap energy is directly observed by room temperature direct band gap photoluminescence.
