Abstract

Liquid-phase epitaxial growth of Ge islands on insulator (GOI) using Ni-imprint-induced Si (1 1 1) micro-crystal seeds (∼1 μmφ) is proposed. As a result, single-crystalline GOI (1 1 1) structures with large area (∼10 μmφ) are realized. The transmission electron microscopy observations reveal no dislocation or stacking fault in the laterally grown regions. Moreover, the Raman measurements show that the tensile strain (∼0.2%) which enhances the carrier mobility is induced in the growth regions. This new method can be employed to realize the multi-functional SiGe large scale integrated circuits.
