  • Localized lattice-mismatch-accomodation dislocation network epitaxy
    Patent number: 5997638
    Abstract: The present invention is a layered structures of substantially-crystalline semiconductor materials and processes for making such structures. More particularly, the invention epitaxial grows a substantially-crystalline layer of a second elemental semiconductor material on a substantially-crystalline first semiconductor material different from the second material in which there is a significant mismatch in at least one dimension between the crystal-lattice structures of the two materials.
