InGaAsÕInP double heterostructures on InPÕSi templates fabricated by wafer bonding and hydrogen-induced exfoliation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrogen-induced exfoliation combined with wafer bonding has been used to transfer ;600-nm-thick films of ~100! InP to Si substrates. Cross-section transmission electron microscopy ~TEM! shows a transferred crystalline InP layer with no observable defects in the region near the bonded interface and an intimately bonded interface. InP and Si are covalently bonded as inferred by the fact that InP/Si pairs survived both TEM preparation and thermal cycles up to 620 °C necessary for metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth. The InP transferred layers were used as epitaxial templates for the growth of InP/In0.53Ga0.47As/InP double heterostructures. Photoluminescence measurements of the In0.53Ga0.47As layer show that it is optically active and under tensile strain, due to differences in the thermal expansion between InP and Si. These are promising results in terms of a future integration of Si electronics with optical devices based on InP-lattice-matched materials. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1637429#

Low-Temperature Fabrication of Germanium-on-Insulator Using Remote Plasma Activation Bonding and Hydrogen Exfoliation
Low-temperature germanium to silicon wafer bonding was demonstrated by in situ radical activation and bonding in vacuum. After low temperature direct bonding of Ge to Si followed by annealing at 200 and 300 C, advanced imaging techniques were used to characterize the bonded interface. The feasibility of transferring hydrogen-implanted germanium to silicon with a reduced thermal budget is also d...

متن کاملAnalyses of Interfaces in Wafer-Bonded Tandem Solar Cells by Aberration-Corrected STEM and EELS
High-quality III-V multi junction solar cells on Si can be fabricated by surface-activated wafer bonding at room temperature. In this way the formation of lattice-mismatch induced defects in the active solar cell layers can be reduced or completely avoided. In this approach, a 10 μm thin GaInP/GaAs dual junction solar cell is grown lattice-matched on GaAs and transferred to Si by direct wafer b...
