  • Patent number: 9850571
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic compounds, and particularly, relates to a method for directly preparing graphene by taking CBr4 as a source material and using methods such as molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A method for preparing graphene comprises the following steps: selecting a proper material as a substrate; directly depositing a catalyst and CBr4 on a surface of the substrate; and performing annealing treatment on the sample obtained through deposition. Compared with other technologies, an innovative point of the method in the invention is that the catalyst and CBr4 source can be quantitatively and controllably deposited on any substrate, and the catalyst and CBr4 source react on the surface of the substrate to form the graphene, so that the dependence of the graphene growth on a substrate material can be reduced to a great extent, and different substrate materials can be selected according to different application backgrounds.

  • Patent number: 9601337
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a graphene modulated high-k oxide and metal gate Ge-based MOS device, which comprises the following steps: 1) introducing a graphene thin film on a Ge-based substrate; 2) conducting fluorination treatment to the graphene thin film to form fluorinated graphene; 3) activating the surface of the fluorinated graphene by adopting ozone plasmas, and then forming a high-k gate dielectric on the surface of the fluorinated graphene through an atomic layer deposition technology; and 4) forming a metal electrode on the surface of the high-k gate dielectric. Since the present invention utilizes the graphene as a passivation layer to inhibit the formation of unstable oxide GeOx on the surface of the Ge-based substrate and to stop mutual diffusion between the gate dielectric and the Ge-based substrate, the interface property between Ge and the high-k gate dielectric layer is improved.

  • Patent number: 9230849
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an ultra-thin material on insulator through adsorption by a doped ultra-thin layer. In the method, first, an ultra-thin doped single crystal film and an ultra-thin top film (or contains a buffer layer) are successively and epitaxially grown on a first substrate, and then a high-quality ultra-thin material on insulator is prepared through ion implantation and a bonding process. A thickness of the prepared ultra-thin material on insulator ranges from 5 nm to 50 nm. In the present invention, the ultra-thin doped single crystal film adsorbs the implanted ion, and a micro crack is then formed, so as to implement ion-cut; therefore, the roughness of a surface of a ion-cut material on insulator is small.

  • Publication number: 20150325468
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a material on an insulator based on enhanced adsorption. In the method: first, a single crystal film having a doped superlattice structure, an intermediate layer, a buffer layer and a top layer film are epitaxially grown in succession on a first substrate; then, low dosage ion implantation is performed on the structure on which the top layer film is formed, so that ions are implanted above an upper surface or below a lower surface of the single crystal film having a doped superlattice structure; next, a second substrate having an insulation layer is bonded to the structure on which ion implantation has already been performed, and an annealing treatment is performed, so that a microscopic crack is produced at the single crystal film having a doped superlattice structure to achieve atomic-scale stripping. The effective stripping of bonding wafers is achieved by means of enhanced adsorption.

  • Patent number: 8877608
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a GOI chip structure, where, in the method, first, a SiGe on insulator (SGOI) chip structure is made by using a SMART CUT technology, and then, germanium condensation technology is performed on the SGOI chip structure, so as to obtain a GOI chip structure. Because the SGOI made by the Smart-Cut technology basically has no misfit dislocation in an SGOI/BOX interface, the threading dislocation density of the GOI is finally reduced. A technique of the present invention is simple, the high-quality GOI chip structure can be implemented, and the germanium condensation technology is greatly improved. An ion implantation technology and an annealing technology are quite mature techniques in the current semiconductor industry, so that such a preparation method greatly improves the possibility of wide use of the germanium concentration technology in the semiconductor industry.

Local Ge oxidization and concentration technique is used to implement a Silicon Germanium On Insulator (SGOI) or Germanium On Insulator (GOI) with a high Ge content in some area. In the SGOI or GOI with a high Ge content, the Ge content is controllable from 50% to 100%. In addition, the film thickness is controllable from 5 nm to 20 nm, facilitating the implementation of the device process. During the oxidization and concentration process of the SiGe or Ge and Si, a SiGe heterojunction structure with a gradient Ge content is formed between the SiGe or Ge and Si, thereby eliminating defects.
