摘要:
A method for reducing roughness of an exposed surface of an insulator layer on a substrate, by depositing an insulator layer on a substrate wherein the insulator layer includes an exposed rough surface opposite the substrate, and then smoothing the exposed rough surface of the insulator layer by exposure to a gas plasma in a chamber. The chamber contains therein a gas at a pressure of greater than 0.25 Pa but less than 30 Pa, and the gas plasma is created using a radiofrequency generator applying to the insulator layer a power density greater than 0.6 W/cm2 but less than 10 W/cm2 for at least 10 seconds to less than 200 seconds. Substrate bonding and layer transfer may be carried out subsequently to transfer the thin layer of substrate and the insulator layer to a second substrate.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of fabrication of a substrate for an epitaxial growth. A relaxed epitaxial base layer is obtained on an auxiliary substrate. The invention allows the fabrication of substrates with a more efficient epitaxial growth of a material with a desired lattice parameter on another material with a different lattice parameter. The material can be grown with a high thermodynamic and crystallographic stability. At least a part of the epitaxial base layer is transferred onto a carrier substrate, forming a base substrate, and growing the material of the epitaxial base layer is further grown on the carrier substrate.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure having a high-strained crystalline layer with a low crystal defect density is disclosed. The structure includes a substrate having a first material comprising germanium or a Group(III)-Group(V)-semiconductor or alloy thereof. In addition, a crystalline epitaxial first layer, comprising a graded buffer layer and a substantially relaxed layer, is provided. The buffer layer is sufficiently relaxed to provide relaxation of the substantially relaxed layer deposited thereon. A further layer may be provided on the first layer, and the transfer of at least the further layer is facilitated by providing a weakened zone in the first layer.
摘要:
A semiconductor-on-insulator structure for electronics, optics or optoelectronics, in which a semiconductor layer includes desirable elastic constraints. The structure includes a substrate, an insulating layer on the substrate, and a semiconductor layer on the insulating layer. The semiconductor layer has elastic constraints, and the insulating layer is made of an electrically insulating material having a viscosity temperature TG that is sufficiently high so as to protect the semiconductor layer from loss of the elastic constraints when the structure is exposed to a temperature of about 950° C. or more. Also described is a process for producing such a semiconductor-on-insulator structure.
