摘要:
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 the 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. A monocrystalline layer is then formed over the accommodating buffer layer, such that a lattice constant of the monocrystalline layer substantially matches the lattice constant of a subsequently grown monocrystalline film.

A high quality epitaxial layer of monocrystalline Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 can be grown overlying large silicon wafers by first growing an strontium titanate layer on a silicon wafer. The strontium titanate layer is a monocrystalline layer spaced apart from the silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer of silicon oxide.
摘要:
A semiconductor structure exhibiting reduced leakage current is formed of a monocrystalline substrate (101) and a strained-layer heterostructure (105). The strained-layer heterostructure has a first layer (102) formed of a first monocrystalline oxide material having a first lattice constant and a second layer (104) formed of a second monocrystalline oxide material overlying the first layer and having a second lattice constant. The second lattice constant is different from the first lattice constant. The second layer creates strain within the oxide material layers, at the interface between the first and second oxide material layers of the heterostructure, and at the interface of the substrate and the first layer, which changes the energy band offset at the interface of the substrate and the first layer.

摘要:
High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline oxide materials (24) are grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers (22) using RHEED information to monitor the growth rate of the growing film. The monocrystalline oxide layer (24) may be used to form a compliant substrate for monocrystalline growth of additional layers. One way to achieve the formation of a compliant substrate includes first growing an accommodating buffer layer (24) on a silicon wafer (22) spaced apart from the silicon wafer (22) by an amorphous interface layer of silicon oxide (28). The amorphous interface layer (28) dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer (24).

A method of forming a portion (10) of a compound semiconductor MOSFET structure comprises forming a compound semiconductor layer structure (14) and an oxide layer (20) overlying the same. Forming the compound semiconductor structure (14) includes forming at least one channel material (16) and a group-III rich surface termination layer (18) overlying the at least one channel material. Forming the oxide layer (20) includes forming the oxide layer to overlie the group-III rich surface termination layer and comprises one of (a) depositing essentially congruently evaporating oxide of at least one of (a(i)) a ternary oxide and (a(ii)) an oxide more complex than a ternary oxide and (b) depositing oxide molecules, with use of at least one of (b(i)) a ternary oxide and (b(ii)) an oxide more complex than a ternary oxide.
摘要:
A dielectric layer comprised of lanthanum, lutetium, and oxygen that is formed between two conductors or a conductor and a substrate. In one embodiment, the dielectric layer is formed over the substrate without the need for an additional interfacial layer. In another embodiment, the dielectric layer is graded with respect to the lanthanum or lutetium content or in the alternative, may include aluminum. In yet another embodiment, an insulating layer is formed between the conductor or substrate and the dielectric layer or between both the conductor and substrate and the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is preferably formed by molecular beam epitaxy, but can also be formed by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, organometallic chemical vapor deposition or pulsed laser deposition.
