    摘要: A method comprises providing a monocrystalline silicon wafer (11) having a principal surface (17) which supports a masking layer (24), for example silicon dioxide or polycrystalline silicon, having windows (25) to expose corresponding regions of the silicon wafer, forming silicon carbide seed regions (30) on the exposed regions of the wafer, for example by forming carbon and converting the carbon into silicon carbide, and growing monocrystalline silicon carbide (31) on the silicon carbide seed regions. Thus, monocrystalline silicon carbide can be formed selectively on the silicon wafer which can help to avoid wafer bow.

    摘要: A method is disclosed of manufacturing a semiconductor structure comprising an (001) oriented zincblende structure group III-nitride layer, such as GaN. The layer is formed on a 3C-SiC layer on a silicon substrate. A nucleation layer is formed, recrystallized and then the zincblende structure group III-nitride layer is formed by MOVPE at temperature T3 in the range 750-1000 ° C., to a thickness of at least 0.5μ. There is also disclosed a corresponding semiconductor structure comprising a zincblende structure group III-nitride layer which, when characterized by XRD, shows that the substantial majority, or all, of the layer is formed of zincblende structure group III-nitride in preference to wurtzite structure group III-nitride.
