HYBRID ORIENTATION SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR FABRICATION THEREOF

摘要

A method for fabricating a hybrid orientation substrate provides for: (1) a horizontal epitaxial augmentation of a masked surface semiconductor layer that leaves exposed a portion of a base semiconductor substrate; and (2) a vertical epitaxial augmentation of the exposed portion of the base semiconductor substrate. The resulting surface semiconductor layer and epitaxial surface semiconductor layer adjoin with an interface that is not perpendicular to the base semiconductor substrate. The method also includes implanting through the surface semiconductor layer and the epitaxial surface semiconductor layer a dielectric forming ion to provide a buried dielectric layer that separates the surface semiconductor layer and the epitaxial surface semiconductor layer from the base semiconductor substrate.
