  • METHODS FOR MODIFYING CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC SYMMETRY ON THE SURFACE OF A SILICON WAFER
    Publication number: 20130025531
    Abstract: A method for modifying crystallographic symmetry on the surface of a silicon (001) wafer, the method comprising providing a silicon substrate wafer having a symmetry element, forming a symmetry breaking layer on the substrate, and growing at least one transformation layer having a 3-fold or 6-fold rotational symmetry axis substantially perpendicular to the wafer surface on the formed symmetry breaking layer.
