摘要： The present invention provides an improved amorphization/templated recrystallization (ATR) method for fabricating low-defect-density hybrid orientation substrates. ATR methods for hybrid orientation substrate fabrication generally start with a Si layer having a first orientation bonded to a second Si layer or substrate having a second orientation. Selected regions of the first Si layer are amorphized and then recrystallized into the orientation of the second Si layer by using the second Si layer as a template. In particular, this invention provides a melt-recrystallization ATR method, for use alone or in combination with non-melt-recrystallization ATR methods, in which selected Si regions bounded by dielectric-filled trenches are induced to undergo an orientation change by the steps of preamorphization, laser-induced melting, and corner-defect-free templated recrystallization from the melt.

The process flow of the present invention solves two major difficulties not disclosed by prior art ATR methods: the creation of “corner defects” at the edges of amorphized Si regions bounded by trenches, and undesired orientation changes during a high temperature post-recrystallization defect-removal annealing of non-ATR'd regions not bounded by trenches. In particular, this invention provides a process flow comprising the steps of (i) amorphization and low-temperature recrystallization performed in substrate regions free of trenches, (ii) formation of trench isolation regions that subsume the defective regions at the edge of the ATR'd regions, and (iii) a high-temperature defect-removal anneal performed with the trench isolation regions in place.

摘要： The present invention provides an improved amorphization/templated recrystallization (ATR) method for forming hybrid orientation substrates and semiconductor device structures. A direct-silicon-bonded (DSB) silicon layer having a (011) surface crystal orientation is bonded to a base silicon substrate having a (001) surface crystal orientation to form a DSB wafer in which the in-plane direction of the (011) DSB layer is aligned with an in-plane direction of the (001) base substrate. Selected regions of the DSB layer are amorphized down to the base substrate to form amorphized regions aligned with the mutually orthogonal in-plane directions of the (001) base substrate, followed by recrystallization using the base substrate as a template. This optimal arrangement of DSB layer, base substrate, and amorphized region orientation provides a near-vertical, essentially defect-free boundary between original-orientation and changed-orientation silicon regions, thus enabling complete boundary region removal with smaller footprint shallow trench isolation than possible with ATR methods not so optimized.
