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.

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.
