    摘要: A method of fabricating relaxed SiGe buffer layers with low threading dislocation densities on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates is provided. The relaxed SiGe buffer layers are fabricated by the epitaxial deposition of a defect-free Stranski-Krastanov Ge or SiGe islands on a surface of the SOI substrate; the capping and planarizing of the islands with a Si or Si-rich SiGe layer, and the annealing of the structure at elevated temperatures until intermixing and thereby formation of a relaxed SiGe layer on the insulating layer (i.e., buried oxide layer) of the initial SOI wafer is achieved. The present invention is also directed to semiconductor structures, devices and integrated circuits which include at least the relaxed SiGe buffer layer mentioned above.

    摘要: A method to obtain thin (less than 300 nm) strain-relaxed Si1-xGex buffer layers on Si or silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates. These buffer layers have a homogeneous distribution of misfit dislocations that relieve the strain, remarkably smooth surfaces, and a low threading dislocation (TD) density, i.e. less than 106 cm2. The approach begins with the growth of a pseudomorphic or nearly pseudomorphic Si1-xGex layer, i.e., a layer that is free of misfit dislocations, which is then implanted with He or other light elements and subsequently annealed to achieve the substantial strain relaxation. The very effective strain relaxation mechanism operating with this method is dislocation nucleation at He-induced platelets (not bubbles) that lie below the Si/Si1-xGex interface, parallel to the Si(001) surface.
