摘要

Ⅲ-Ⅴ solar cell cost reduction and direct Ⅲ-Ⅴ/Si integration can both be realized by depositing a thinlayer of high-quality Ge on relatively low-cost Si substrates. However, direct epitaxial growth of Geon Si substrates is difficult due to the 4% lattice mismatch between the film and the substrate.Threading dislocations (TDs) introduced within the Ge layer have a detrimental effect on deviceperformances. The goal of this research is to address the perennial need to minimize the defect densityof Ge epilayers grown on a Si substrate. We seek to accommodate the effects of the lattice mismatchby introducing a porous Si interface layer to intercept dislocations and prevent them from reaching theactive layers of the device. The porous Si layer is formed through dislocation-selectiveelectrochemical deep etching and thermal annealing. The porous layer created beneath the top Ge layercan both act as dislocation traps and as a soft compliant substrate, which displays high flexibility.Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the Ge/porous Si interface shows that the latticemismatch strain of the Ge films was almost relaxed. The surface roughness of this modified Ge/Sisubstrate has been reduced using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to fulfil therequirements for epitaxy of Ⅲ-Ⅴ alloys. Finally, we present simulation results exploring the effect ofthreading dislocations on device performance.
