    摘要: A method of fabricating high-quality, substantially relaxed SiGe-on-insulator substrate materials which may be used as a template for strained Si is described. A silicon-on-insulator substrate with a very thin top Si layer is used as a template for compressively strained SiGe growth. Upon relaxation of the SiGe layer at a sufficient temperature, the nature of the dislocation motion is such that the strain-relieving defects move downward into the thin Si layer when the buried oxide behaves semi-viscously. The thin Si layer is consumed by oxidation of the buried oxide/thin Si interface. This can be accomplished by using internal oxidation at high temperatures. In this way the role of the original thin Si layer is to act as a sacrificial defect sink during relaxation of the SiGe alloy that can later be consumed using internal oxidation.

    摘要: The invention forms an epitaxial silicon-containing layer on a silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface and avoids creating a rough surface upon which the epitaxial silicon-containing layer is grown. In order to avoid creating the rough surface, the invention first performs a hydrofluoric acid etching process on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. This etching process removes most of oxide from the surface, and leaves a first amount of oxygen (typically 1×1013−1×1015/cm2 of oxygen) on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. The invention then performs a hydrogen pre-bake process which heats the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface sufficiently to remove additional oxygen from the surface and leave a second amount of oxygen, less than the first amount, on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. The heating process leaves an amount of at least 5×1012/cm2 of oxygen (typically, between approximately 1×1013/cm2 and approximately 5×1013/cm2 of oxygen) on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. By leaving a small amount of oxygen on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned silicon-on-insulator surface, the heating processes avoid changing the roughness of the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. Then the process of epitaxially growing the epitaxial silicon-containing layer on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned silicon-on-insulator surface is performed.

    摘要: The present invention provides a strained Si directly on insulator (SSDOI) substrate having multiple crystallographic orientations and a method of forming thereof. Broadly, but in specific terms, the inventive SSDOI substrate includes a substrate; an insulating layer atop the substrate; and a semiconducting layer positioned atop and in direct contact with the insulating layer, the semiconducting layer comprising a first strained Si region and a second strained Si region; wherein the first strained Si region has a crystallographic orientation different from the second strained Si region and the first strained Si region has a crystallographic orientation the same or different from the second strained Si region. The strained level of the first strained Si region is different from that of the second strained Si region.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for forming a semiconductor wafer having a strained Si or SiGe layer on an insulator layer. The method produces a structure having a SiGe buffer layer between the insulator layer and the strained Si or SiGe layer, but eliminates the need for Si epitaxy after bonding. The method also eliminates interfacial contamination between strained Si and SiGe buffer layer, and allows the formation of Si/SiGe layers having a total thickness exceeding the critical thickness of the strained Si layer.
