    摘要: A method of forming a surface Ge-containing channel which can be used to fabricate a Ge-based field effect transistor (FET) which can be applied to semiconductor-on-insulator substrates (SOIs) is provided. The disclosed method uses Ge-containing ion beams, such as cluster ion beams, to create a strained Ge-containing rich region at or near a surface of a SOI substrate. The Ge-containing rich region can be present continuously across the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate, or it can be present as a discrete region at a predetermined surface portion of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: The invention forms an epitaxial silicon-containing layer on a silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface and avoids creating a rough surface upon which the epitaxial silicon-containing layer is grown. In order to avoid creating the rough surface, the invention first performs a hydrofluoric acid etching process on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. This etching process removes most of oxide from the surface, and leaves only a sub-monolayer of oxygen (typically 1×1013-1×1015/cm2 of oxygen) at the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. The invention then performs a hydrogen pre-bake process in a chlorine containing environment which heats the silicon germanium, strained silicon, or thin silicon-on-insulator surface sufficiently to remove the remaining oxygen from the surface. By introducing a small amount of chlorine containing gases, the heating processes avoid changing the roughness of the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned thin silicon-on-insulator surface. Then the process of epitaxially growing the epitaxial silicon-containing layer on the silicon germanium, patterned strained silicon, or patterned silicon-on-insulator surface is performed.

    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.
