    摘要: A semiconductor-based structure includes first and second layers bonded directly to each other at an interface. Parallel to the interface, the lattice spacing of the second layer is different than the lattice spacing of the first layer. The first and second layers are each formed of essentially the same semiconductor. A method for making a semiconductor-based structure includes providing first and second layers that are formed of essentially the same semiconductor. The first and second layers have, respectively, first and second surfaces. The second layer has a different lattice spacing parallel to the second surface than the lattice spacing of the first layer parallel to the first surface. The method includes contacting the first and second surfaces, and annealing to promote direct atomic bonding between the first and second layers.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure. According to one aspect of the invention, on a first semiconductor substrate, a first compositionally graded Si1-xGex buffer is deposited where the Ge composition x is increasing from about zero to a value less than about 20%. Then a first etch-stop Si1-yGey layer is deposited where the Ge composition y is larger than about 20% so that the layer is an effective etch-stop. A second etch-stop layer of strained Si is then grown. The deposited layer is bonded to a second substrate. After that the first substrate is removed to release said first etch-stop S1-yGey layer. The remaining structure is then removed in another step to release the second etch-stop layer. According to another aspect of the invention, a semiconductor structure is provided. The structure has a layer in which semiconductor devices are to be formed. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate, an insulating layer, a relaxed SiGe layer where the Ge composition is larger than approximately 15%, and a device layer selected from a group consisting of, but not limited to, strained-Si, relaxed Si1-yGey layer, strained Si1-zGez layer, Ge, GaAs, III-V materials, and II-VI materials, where Ge compositions y and z are values between 0 and 1.

    摘要: A method and structure for forming semiconductor structures using tensilely strained gettering layers. The method includes forming a donor wafer comprising a tensilely strained gettering layer disposed over a substrate, and at least one material layer disposed over the tensilely strained gettering layer. Additionally, the donor wafer may possess a particle-confining region proximate the tensilely strained layer. The method also includes introducing particles into the donor wafer to a depth below the surface, and accumulating at least some particles within the tensilely strained gettering layer. Next, the method includes initiating a cleaving action so as to separate at least one of the material layers form the substrate. The tensilely strained gettering layer may accumulate particles and/or point defects and reduce the implantation dose and thermal budget required for cleaving.
