Abstract
The present invention provides an epitaxial imprinting process for fabricating a hybrid substrate that includes a bottom semiconductor layer; a continuous buried insulating layer present atop said bottom semiconductor layer; and a top semiconductor layer present on said continuous buried insulating layer, wherein said top semiconductor layer includes separate planar semiconductor regions that have different crystal orientations, said separate planar semiconductor regions are isolated from each other. The epitaxial printing process of the present invention utilizing epitaxial growth, wafer bonding and a recrystallization anneal.
Claims6
A semiconductor structure comprising:
- a bottom semiconductor layer;
- a continuous buried insulating layer present atop said bottom semiconductor layer;
- and
- a top semiconductor layer present on said continuous buried insulating layer, wherein said top semiconductor layer includes separate planar semiconductor regions that have different crystal orientations in which a first planar semiconductor region comprises a first crystal orientation that is (100) and a second planar semiconductor region comprises a second crystal orientation that is (110), said separate planar semiconductor regions are isolated from each other, and the first planar semiconductor region is composed of a different intrinsic semiconductor material than the second planar semiconductor region, wherein the continuous buried insulating layer continuously extends directly beneath an entire portion of the top semiconductor layer.
