Patent number: 7790566Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparing a surface of a Group III-Group V compound semiconductor for epitaxial deposition. The III-V semiconductor surface is treated with boron (B) at a temperature of between about 250° C. and about 350° C. A suitable form for supplying B for the surface treatment is diborane. The B treatment can be followed by epitaxial growth, for instance by a Group IV semiconductor, at temperatures similar to those of the B treatment. The method yields high quality heterojunction, suitable for fabricating a large variety of device structures.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jack Oon Chu, Deborah Ann Neumayer

Patent number: 7745863Abstract: A method of forming an integrated ferroelectric/CMOS structure which effectively separates incompatible high temperature deposition and annealing processes is provided. The method of the present invention includes separately forming a CMOS structure and a ferroelectric delivery wafer. These separate structures are then brought into contact with each and the ferroelectric film of the delivery wafer is bonded to the upper conductive electrode layer of the CMOS structure by using a low temperature anneal step. A portion of the delivery wafer is then removed providing an integrated FE/CMOS structure wherein the ferroelectric capacitor is formed on top of the CMOS structure. The capacitor is in contact with the transistor of the CMOS structure through all the wiring levels of the CMOS structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James W.
