Strained Silicon on Silicon by Wafer Bonding and Layer Transfer from Relaxed SiGe Buffer

We report the creation of strained silicon on silicon (SSOS) substrate technology. The method uses a relaxed SiGe buffer as a template for inducing tensile strain in a Si layer, which is then bonded to another Si handle wafer. The original Si wafer and the relaxed SiGe buffer are subsequently remov...
