Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the required strength is too high when the stress is simply applied. It is difficult to achieve a biaxial stress of 2.4GPa in the current common epitaxial technology process, and the process is difficult to realize.
For example, Ge is epitaxial on the Si substrate first, and the different thermal expansion coefficients of Si and Ge are used in the annealing process to obtain a tensile strain of 0.3% for the Ge epitaxial layer, but it is still impossible to transform Ge into a direct bandgap semiconductor material. Only quasi-direct bandgap Ge can be achieved with heavy doping

Abstract

The invention discloses a direct band gap modified Ge material based on GeSiC selective epitaxy and a preparation method for the same. The direct band gap modified Ge material based on GeSiC selectiveepitaxy comprises steps of choosing an Si substrate, growing a first Ge layer, growing a second Ge layer, using etching technology to etch the second Ge layer to form multiple Ge steps arranged in amiddle position, depositing an Si3N4 material on the surface of the second Ge layer, selectively etching the Si3N4 material to reserve the Si3N4 material of the multiple Ge steps to form an Si3N4 blocking layer, using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to grow a Ge0.37Si0.24C0.03alloy material on the surface of the second Ge layer, and removing the Si3N4 blocking layer in order to form a direct band gap modified Ge material. The invention provides a Ge1-x-y-SixCy selective epitaxy induced Ge direct band gap semiconductor realization method. Because a crystal lattice constant of the Ge isgreater than a Ge1-x-ySixCy crystal lattice constant, the epitaxy is selectively performed on the Ge1-x-ySixCy on circumference of the etched Ge using a lattice mismatch stress inducing theory and double-axis tension stress is introduced to the Ge semiconductor in a center area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a direct bandgap modified Ge material based on GeSiC selective epitaxy and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Optoelectronic integration is the integration of optical components and electronic devices (integrated circuits) in order to realize the transmission and processing of information at the same time. In terms of integration form, optoelectronic integration can be divided into hybrid integration and monolithic integration. Among them, the monolithic integration method with low cost, high yield, stable and reliable device performance has attracted much attention, and the highly mature silicon-based semiconductor processing technology and integrated circuit system have provided convenient conditions for the development of silicon-based monolithic optoelectronic integration. [0003] Silicon material has the characteristics of indirect band...
