摘要:
A substrate for epitaxial growth includes a silicon-containing substrate, a silicon-germanium film, and a network-shaped structure. The silicon-germanium film is formed lamellarly on the silicon-containing substrate. The network-shaped structure is disposed adjacent to an interface between the silicon-containing substrate and the silicon-germanium film, and is composed of a 90-degree-dislocation dislocation line elongating continuously. The 90-degree-dislocation dislocation line making the network-shaped structure elongates remarkably long without being broken to short lengths interruptedly so that the 90-degree dislocation is disposed cyclically in planes parallel to the interface. Accordingly, the 90-degree dislocation is present uniformly in planes parallel to the interface. Consequently, strains in the crystal lattice of the silicon-germanium film have been uniformly relaxed more securely.

A silicon substrate is prepared, and a titanium intermediate layer is formed on the silicon substrate. Then, a compound element-containing layer containing compound elements to compose an intended silicide film is formed on the titanium intermediate layer, to form a multilayered intermediate structure, which is thermally treated to form the intended silicide film made of silicon elements of the silicon substrate and the compound elements of the compound element-containing layer.
摘要:
An object of this invention is to provide an electrode for p-type SiC which can provide improved surface morphology and less thermal damage for a semiconductor crystal layer due to formation of an electrode. In this invention, a p-type electrode is manufactured to contain at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt).
