Dual-Step Selective Homoepitaxy of Ge with Low Defect Density and Modulated Strain Based on Optimized Ge/Si Virtual Substrate

In this manuscript, a novel dual-step selective epitaxy growth (SEG) of Ge was proposed to significantly decrease the defect density and to create fully strained relaxed Ge on a Si substrate. With the single-step SEG of Ge, the threading defect density (TDD) was successfully decreased from 2.9 × 10&...
