SiGe heterolayers are of interest for use in heterojunction transistors, infrared detectors and field-effect transistors. SIMOX (Separation of silicon by IMplanted OXygen) is useful for fabrication of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures (electrically isolated from the substrate). SIMOX could potentially be used for isolation of SiGe structures from the substrate. Epitaxial-Si grown on SIMOX (required for some device structures) can have grown-in dislocations that arise due to STMOX-related damage. If SiGe heterolayers were grown on silicon, dislocations could interact with the strain fields associated with the SiGe layers. Such interaction could possibly lead to a reduction in defect densities in upper layers of the structures. In the present study, SiGe heterolayers grown on SIMOX by chemical vapor deposition were characterized using TEM. The structures consisted of epi-silicon grown on a Si/Sii-xGex superlattice which was in turn grown on a Si/SiO2 (SIMOX) structure. The behavior of defects in the structures was of interest.

As semiconductor device dimensions shrink and packing-densities rise, issues of parasitic capacitance and circuit speed become increasingly important. The use of thin-film silicon-on-insulator (TFSOI) substrates for device fabrication is being explored in order to increase switching speeds. One version of TFSOI being explored for device fabrication is SIMOX (Silicon-separation by Implanted OXygen).A buried oxide layer is created by highdose oxygen implantation into silicon wafers followed by annealing to cause coalescence of oxide regions into a continuous layer. A thin silicon layer remains above the buried oxide (~220 nm Si after additional thinning). Device structures can now be fabricated upon this thin silicon layer.Current fabrication of metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) requires formation of a polysilicon/oxide gate between source and drain regions. Contact to the source/drain and gate regions is typically made by use of TiSi2 layers followedby Al(Cu) metal lines. TiSi2 has a relatively low contact resistance and reduces the series resistance of both source/drain as well as gate regions

ABSTRACTLow temperature (<60° C) processing technologies that avoid potentially damaging processing steps have been developed for devices fabricated from II-VI semiconductor epitaxial layers grown by photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). These low temperature technologies include: 1) photolithography (1 µm geometries), 2) calibrated etchants (rates as low as 30 Å/s), 3) a metallization lift-off process employing a photoresist profiler, 4) an interlevel metal dielectric, and 5) an insulator technology for metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. A number of first demonstration devices including field-effect transistors and p-n junctions have been fabricated from II-VI epitaxial layers grown by photoassisted MBE and processed using the technology described here. In this paper, two advanced device structures, processed at <60° C, will be presented: 1) CdTe:As-CdTe:In p-n junction detectors, grown in situ by photoassisted MBE, and 2) HgCdTe-HgTe-CdZnTe quantum-well modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs).
