Abstract: High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. An accommodating buffer layer comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from a silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The accommodating buffer layer is lattice matched to both the underlying silicon wafer and the overlying monocrystalline material layer. Any lattice mismatch between the accommodating buffer layer and the underlying silicon substrate is taken care of by the amorphous interface layer. In addition, formation of a compliant substrate may include the use lateral epitaxial overgrowth to facilitate production of a high quality monocrystalline material layer.

Abstract: High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials (26) can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates (22) such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. An accommodating buffer layer (24) comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from a silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer (28) of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The growth of the monocrystalline oxide film for accommodating buffer layer (24) is achieved through an automated oxygen delivery system (200) that controls a variety of oxygen control parameters, such as pressure control, ramp control, and flow control. The oxygen delivery system (200) is preferably a dual stage pressure control system (204, 206) with the ability to precisely control the oxygen profile in the growth chamber. The oxygen delivery system (200) allows total automation of oxide film growth in an MBE chamber (102).
