Abstract:
Structures including crystalline material disposed in openings defined in a non-crystalline mask layer disposed over a substrate. A photovoltaic cell may be disposed above the crystalline material.
Abstract:
Lattice-mismatched epitaxial films formed proximate non-crystalline sidewalls. Embodiments of the invention include formation of facets that direct dislocations in the films to the sidewalls.
Abstract:
Fabrication of monolithic lattice-mismatched semiconductor heterostructures with limited area regions having upper portions substantially exhausted of threading dislocations, as well as fabrication of semiconductor devices based on such lattice-mismatched heterostructures.
Abstract:
A structure including a transistor and a trench structure, with the trench structure inducing only a portion of the strain in a channel region of the transistor.
Abstract:
Solar cell structures including multiple sub-cells that incorporate different materials that may have different lattice constants. In some embodiments, solar cell devices include several photovoltaic junctions.
Abstract:
Some aspects for the invention. include a method and a structure including a light -emitting device (300, 300') disposed over a second crystalline semiconductor material (140) formed over a semiconductor substrate (100) comprising a first crystalline material. In some embodiments, the second crystalline semiconductor material (140) is proved in a trench (120) defined in a dielectric layer (110) which is disposed over said substrate (100). In some embodiments, the second crystalline semiconductor material is a lattice-mismatched to the first crystalline semiconductor material.
Abstract:
Semiconductor structures include a trench formed proximate a substrate including a first semiconductor material. A crystalline material including a second semiconductor material lattice mismatched to the first semiconductor material is formed in the trench. Process embodiments include removing a portion of the dielectric layer to expose a side portion of the crystalline material and defining a gate thereover. Defects are reduced by using an aspect ratio trapping approach.
