  • Publication number: 20100099213
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for blocking the dislocation propagation of a semiconductor. A semiconductor layer is formed by epitaxial process on a substrate. A plurality of recesses is formed on the semiconductor layer by etching fragile locations of the semiconductor layer where dislocation occurs. Thereafter, a blocking layer is formed on each of the plurality of recesses. The aforesaid semiconductor layer undergoes epitaxial process again on the aforesaid semiconductor layer, and laterally overgrows to redirect the dislocation defects.
