    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure including providing a single crystal semiconductor substrate of GaP, and fabricating a graded composition buffer including a plurality of epitaxial semiconductor Inx(AlyGa1−y)1−xP alloy layers. The buffer includes a first alloy layer immediately contacting the substrate having a lattice constant that is nearly identical to that of the substrate, subsequent alloy layers having lattice constants that differ from adjacent layers by less than 1%, and a final alloy layer having a lattice constant that is substantially different from the substrate. The growth temperature of the final alloy layer is at least 20° C. less than the growth temperature of the first alloy layer.

    摘要: A process for producing monocrystalline semiconductor layers. In an exemplary embodiment, a graded Si1−xGex (x increases from 0 to y) is deposited on a first silicon substrate, followed by deposition of a relaxed Si1−yGey layer, a thin strained Si1−zGez layer and another relaxed Si1−yGey layer. Hydrogen ions are then introduced into the strained SizGez layer. The relaxed Si1−yGey layer is bonded to a second oxidized substrate. An annealing treatment splits the bonded pair at the strained Si layer, such that the second relaxed Si1−yGey layer remains on the second substrate. In another exemplary embodiment, a graded Si1−xGex is deposited on a first silicon substrate, where the Ge concentration x is increased from 0 to 1. Then a relaxed GaAs layer is deposited on the relaxed Ge buffer. As the lattice constant of GaAs is close to that of Ge, GaAs has high quality with limited dislocation defects. Hydrogen ions are introduced into the relaxed GaAs layer at the selected depth. The relaxed GaAs layer is bonded to a second oxidized substrate. An annealing treatment splits the bonded pair at the hydrogen ion rich layer, such that the upper portion of relaxed GaAs layer remains on the second substrate.

    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.
