摘要: A stressor layer is formed atop a base substrate at a first temperature which induces a first tensile stress in the base substrate that is below a fracture toughness of base substrate. The base substrate and the stressor layer are then brought to a second temperature which is less than the first temperature. The second temperature induces a second tensile stress in the stressor layer which is greater than the first tensile stress and which is sufficient to allow for spalling mode fracture to occur within the base substrate. The base substrate is spalled at the second temperature to form a spalled material layer. Spalling occurs at a fracture depth which is dependent upon the fracture toughness of the base substrate, stress level within the base substrate, and the second tensile stress of the stressor layer induced at the second temperature.

摘要: Laser ablation can be used to form a trench within at least a blanket layer of a stressor layer that is atop a base substrate. A non-ablated portion of the stressor layer has an edge that defines the edge of the material layer region to be spalled. Laser ablation can also be used to form a trench within a blanket material stack including at least a plating seed layer. A stressor layer is formed on the non-ablated portions of the material stack and one portion of the stressor layer has an edge that defines the edge of the material layer region to be spalled. Laser ablation can be further used to form a trench that extends through a blanket stressor layer and into the base substrate itself. The trench has an edge that defines the edge of the material layer region to be spalled.

摘要: A method to minimize edge-related substrate breakage during spalling using an edge-exclusion region where the stressor layer is either non-present (excluded either during deposition or removed afterwards) or present but significantly non-adhered to the substrate surface in the exclusion region is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming an edge exclusion material on an upper surface and near an edge of a base substrate. A stressor layer is then formed on exposed portions of the upper surface of the base substrate and atop the edge exclusion material, A portion of the base substrate that is located beneath the stressor layer and which is not covered by the edge exclusion material is then spalled.

摘要: A method of forming a low-defect, substantially relaxed SiGe-on-insulator substrate material is provided. The method includes first forming a Ge-containing layer on a surface of a first single crystal Si layer which is present atop a barrier layer that is resistant to Ge diffusion. A heating step is then performed at a temperature that approaches the melting point of the final SiGe alloy and retards the formation of stacking fault defects while retaining Ge. The heating step permits interdiffusion of Ge throughout the first single crystal Si layer and the Ge-containing layer thereby forming a substantially relaxed, single crystal SiGe layer atop the barrier layer. Moreover, because the heating step is carried out at a temperature that approaches the melting point of the final SiGe alloy, defects that persist in the single crystal SiGe layer as a result of relaxation are efficiently annihilated therefrom. In one embodiment, the heating step includes an oxidation process that is performed at a temperature from about 1230° to about 1320° C. for a time period of less than about 2 hours. This embodiment provides SGOI substrate that have minimal surface pitting and reduced crosshatching.

摘要: High-quality, metastable SiGe alloys are formed on SOI substrates having an SOI layer of about 500 Å or less, the SiGe layers can remain substantially fully strained compared to identical SiGe layers formed on thicker SOI substrates and subsequently annealed and/or oxidized at high temperatures. The present invention thus provides a method of ‘frustrating’ metastable strained SiGe layers by growing them on thin, clean and high-quality SOI substrates.

摘要: In the preferred embodiment of this invention a method is described to convert patterned SOI regions into patterned SGOI (silicon-germanium on oxide) by the SiGe/SOI thermal mixing process to further enhance performance of the logic circuit in an embedded DRAM. The SGOI region acts as a template for subsequent Si growth such that the Si is strained, and electron and holes in the Si have higher mobility.
