    摘要: A cost efficient and manufacturable method of fabricating strained semiconductor-on-insulator (SSOI) substrates is provided that avoids wafer bonding. The method includes growing various epitaxial semiconductor layers on a substrate, wherein at least one of the semiconductor layers is a doped and relaxed semiconductor layer underneath a strained semiconductor layer; converting the doped and relaxed semiconductor layer into a porous semiconductor via an electrolytic anodization process, and oxidizing to convert the porous semiconductor layer into a buried oxide layer. The method provides a SSOI substrate that includes a relaxed semiconductor layer on a substrate; a high-quality buried oxide layer on the relaxed semiconductor layer; and a strained semiconductor layer on the high-quality buried oxide layer. In accordance with the present invention, the relaxed semiconductor layer and the strained semiconductor layer have identical crystallographic orientations.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprising a first strained semiconductor layer over an insulating layer is provided in which the first strained semiconductor layer is relatively thin (less than about 500 Å) and has a low defect density (stacking faults and threading defects). The method of the present invention begins with forming a stress-providing layer, such a SiGe alloy layer over a structure comprising a first semiconductor layer that is located atop an insulating layer. The stress-providing layer and the first semiconductor layer are then patterned into at least one island and thereafter the structure containing the at least one island is heated to a temperature that causes strain transfer from the stress-providing layer to the first semiconductor layer. After strain transfer, the stress-providing layer is removed from the structure to form a first strained semiconductor island layer directly atop said insulating layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a relaxed SiGe-on-insulator substrate having enhanced relaxation, significantly lower defect density and improved surface quality is provided. The method includes forming a SiGe alloy layer on a surface of a first single crystal Si layer. The first single crystal Si layer has an interface with an underlying barrier layer that is resistant to Ge diffusion. Next, ions that are capable of forming defects that allow mechanical decoupling at or near said interface are implanted into the structure and thereafter the structure including the implanted ions is subjected to a heating step which permits interdiffusion of Ge throughout the first single crystal Si layer and the SiGe layer to form a substantially relaxed, single crystal and homogeneous SiGe layer atop the barrier layer. SiGe-on-insulator substrates having the improved properties as well as heterostructures containing the same are also provided.

    摘要: A method of forming a substantially relaxed, high-quality SiGe-on-insulator substrate material using SIMOX and Ge interdiffusion is provided. The method includes first implanting ions into a Si-containing substrate to form an implanted-ion rich region in the Si-containing substrate. The implanted-ion rich region has a sufficient ion concentration such that during a subsequent anneal at high temperatures a barrier layer that is resistant to Ge diffusion is formed. Next, a Ge-containing layer is formed on a surface of the Si-containing substrate, and thereafter a heating step is performed at a temperature which permits formation of the barrier layer and interdiffusion of Ge thereby forming a substantially relaxed, single crystal SiGe layer atop the barrier layer.

    摘要: A method in which a defective semiconductor crystal material is subjected to an amorphization step followed by a thermal treatment step is provided. The amorphization step amorphizes, partially or completely, a region, including the surface region, of a defective semiconductor crystal material. A thermal treatment step is next performed so as to recrystallize the amorphized region of the defective semiconductor crystal material. The recrystallization is achieved in the present invention by solid-phase crystal regrowth from the non-amorphized region of the defective semiconductor crystal material.

    摘要: A germanium-containing layer is deposited on a single crystalline bulk silicon substrate in an ambient including a level of oxygen partial pressure sufficient to incorporate 1%-50% of oxygen in atomic concentration. The thickness of the germanium-containing layer is preferably limited to maintain some degree of epitaxial alignment with the underlying silicon substrate. Optionally, a graded germanium-containing layer can be grown on, or replace, the germanium-containing layer. An at least partially crystalline silicon layer is subsequently deposited on the germanium-containing layer. A handle substrate is bonded to the at least partially crystalline silicon layer. The assembly of the bulk silicon substrate, the germanium-containing layer, the at least partially crystalline silicon layer, and the handle substrate is cleaved within the germanium-containing layer to provide a composite substrate including the handle substrate and the at least partially crystalline silicon layer. Any remaining germanium-containing layer on the composite substrate is removed.
