Embodiment Construction
[0057] A first embodiment of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1-9.
[0058] First, a silicon semiconductor substrate 10 with a thin SiGe buried epitaxial layer 12 and an upper silicon epitaxial layer 14 is provided. Since in the final device components such as transistors are formed in upper layer 14 , this layer is referred to as device layer 14 . In an embodiment, the SiGe layer 12 contains 25% Ge and has a thickness of 20 nm, and the upper silicon layer 14 has a thickness of 300 nm. In alternative embodiments, any suitable material and thickness are possible, for example, the thickness of the buried layer can be from 10 nm to 100 nm, and the thickness of the upper device layer can be from 100 nm to 10 μm.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of insulating layers are formed on the epitaxial layer, including a thin oxide layer 16 with a thickness of 10 nm and a nitride layer 18 with a...
