Reduction of Dislocation Densities of Ge Layers Grown on Si Substrates by Using Microwave Plasma Heating and Fabrication of High Hole Mobility MOSFETs on Ge Layers

Abstract

We have developed a microwave plasma heating technique to rapidly heat the transition metal. W/SiO2 layers were deposited on Ge/Si heterostructures. By heating the W, dislocations in Ge layers originated from lattice mismatch between Ge and Si crystals were reduced drastically. We have fabricated p- MOSFETs on Ge/Si substrates and realized higher mobility of about 380 cm2/ Vs than that of Si p-MOSFET.
