Patent number: 10096474Abstract: Trenches (and processes for forming the trenches) are provided that reduce or prevent crystaline defects in selective epitaxial growth of type III-V or Germanium (Ge) material (e.g., a “buffer” material) from a top surface of a substrate material. The defects may result from collision of selective epitaxial sidewall growth with oxide trench sidewalls. Such trenches include (1) a trench having sloped sidewalls at an angle of between 40 degrees and 70 degrees (e.g., such as 55 degrees) with respect to a substrate surface; and/or (2) a combined trench having an upper trench over and surrounding the opening of a lower trench (e.g., the lower trench may have the sloped sidewalls, short vertical walls, or tall vertical walls). These trenches reduce or prevent defects in the epitaxial sidewall growth where the growth touches or grows against vertical sidewalls of a trench it is grown in.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Niloy Mukherjee, Niti Goel, Sanaz K. Gardner, Pragyansri Pathi, Matthew V. Metz, Sansaptak Dasgupta, Seung Hoon Sung, James M. Powers, Gilbert Dewey, Benjamin Chu-Kung, Jack T. Kavalieros, Robert S. Chau

Patent number: 9711591Abstract: Methods of forming hetero-layers with reduced surface roughness and bulk defect density on non-native surfaces and the devices formed thereby are described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate having a top surface with a lattice constant and depositing a first layer on the top surface of the substrate. The first layer has a top surface with a lattice constant that is different from the first lattice constant of the top surface of the substrate. The first layer is annealed and polished to form a polished surface. A second layer is then deposited above the polished surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2011Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Niloy Mukherjee, Matthew V. Metz, James M. Powers, Van H. Le, Benjamin Chu-Kung, Mark R. Lemay, Marko Radosavljevic, Niti Goel, Loren Chow, Peter G. Tolchinsky, Jack T. Kavalieros, Robert S. Chau
