SUBSTRATE FOR STRESSED SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR CRYSTAL GROWTH ON SUCH A SUBSTRATE

摘要

A stress absorbing microstructure assembly including a support substrate having an accommodation layer that has plurality of motifs engraved or etched in a surface, a buffer layer and a nucleation layer. The stress absorbing microstructure assembly may also include an insulating layer between the buffer layer and the nucleation layer. This assembly can receive thick epitaxial layers thereon with concern of causing cracking of such layers.
