By using this method, two semiconductor materials heterogeneous to each other can be laterally assembled in a self-alignment way, without using any epitaxial buffer layers or gradient buffer layers. Therefore, when applying this method to fabricating an electronic device having heterojunction, not only the manufacture cost can be effectively reduced, but the difficulty of manufacturing process can also be overcome.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a self alignment and assembly fabrication method for stacking multiple material layers, wherein a variety of homogeneous/heterogeneous materials can be stacked on a substrate by this self alignment and assembly fabrication method, without using any epitaxial buffer layers or gradient buffer layers; Moreover, these stacked materials can be single crystal, polycrystalline or non-crystalline phase materials. So that, by applying this self alignment and assembly fabrication method to fabricate a multi-layer device, not only the material cost can be effectively reduced, but the wafer alignment problem existing in the conventional wafer bonding process can also be solved. In addition, in the present invention, rapid melting growth (RMG) is used for growing the multiple crystallized materials laterally and rapidly from the substrate surface by liquid phase epitaxy, therefore the thermal budget can be largely reduced when fabricating the multi-layer device.
