Method for growing Ge expitaxial layer on patterned structure with cyclic annealing

摘要

A Ge epitaxial layer is grown on a silicon substrate with a patterned structure. Through a cyclic annealing, dislocation defects are confined. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a high-quality Ge epitaxial layer with a low cost and a simple procedure. The Ge epitaxial layer obtained can be applied to high mobility Ge devices or any lattice-mismatched epitaxy on a photonics device.
