摘要:
Common-substrate semiconductor devices having nanowires or semiconductor bodies with differing material orientation or composition and methods to form such common-substrate devices are described. For example, a semiconductor structure includes a first semiconductor device having a first nanowire or semiconductor body disposed above a crystalline substrate. The first nanowire or semiconductor body is composed of a semiconductor material having a first global crystal orientation. The semiconductor structure also includes a second semiconductor device having a second nanowire or semiconductor body disposed above the crystalline substrate. The second nanowire or semiconductor body is composed of a semiconductor material having a second global crystal orientation different from the first global orientation. The second nanowire or semiconductor body is isolated from the crystalline substrate by an isolation pedestal disposed between the second nanowire or semiconductor body and the crystalline substrate.

Methods of forming hetero-layers with reduced surface roughness and bulk defect density on non-native surfaces and the devices formed thereby are described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate having a top surface with a lattice constant and depositing a first layer on the top surface of the substrate. The first layer has a top surface with a lattice constant that is different from the first lattice constant of the top surface of the substrate. The first layer is annealed and polished to form a polished surface. A second layer is then deposited above the polished surface.

A stacking fault and twin blocking barrier for forming a III-V device layer on a silicon substrate and the method of manufacture is described. Embodiments of the present invention enable III-V InSb device layers with defect densities below 1×108 cm−2 to be formed on silicon substrates. In an embodiment of the present invention, a buffer layer is positioned between a III-V device layer and a silicon substrate to glide dislocations. In an embodiment of the present invention, GaSb buffer layer is selected on the basis of lattice constant, band gap, and melting point to prevent many lattice defects from propagating out of the buffer into the III-V device layer. In a specific embodiment, a III-V InSb device layer is formed directly on the GaSb buffer.

摘要:
Various embodiments provide a buffer layer that is grown over a silicon substrate that provides desirable device isolation for devices formed relative to III-V material device layers, such as InSb-based devices, as well as bulk thin film grown on a silicon substrate. In addition, the buffer layer can mitigate parallel conduction issues between transistor devices and the silicon substrate. In addition, the buffer layer addresses and mitigates lattice mismatches between the film relative to which the transistor is formed and the silicon substrate.
