Porous fin as compliant medium to form dislocation-free heteroepitaxial films
Abstract:
A method for forming a heteroepitaxial layer includes forming an epitaxial grown layer on a monocrystalline substrate and patterning the epitaxial grown layer to form fins. The fins are converted to porous fins. A surface of the porous fins is treated to make the surface suitable for epitaxial growth. Lattice mismatch is compensated for between an epitaxially grown monocrystalline layer grown on the surface and the monocrystalline substrate by relaxing the epitaxially grown monocrystalline layer using the porous fins to form a relaxed heteroepitaxial interface with the monocrystalline substrate.
