Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a semiconductor structure having a strain relaxed buffer, and method of fabrication. A strain relaxed buffer is disposed on a semiconductor substrate. A silicon region and silicon germanium region are disposed adjacent to each other on the strain relaxed buffer. An additional region of silicon or silicon germanium provides quantum well isolation.

A method of forming a semiconductor structure, comprising:
- forming a p-doped, stress relaxed epitaxial first silicon germanium layer having a first germanium concentration onto a semiconductor substrate;
- depositing a tensile strained epitaxial second silicon germanium layer having a second germanium concentration onto the first silicon germanium layer, wherein the second germanium concentration is lower than the first germanium concentration;
- removing a portion of the second silicon germanium layer over a first region to create exposed regions of the thereby forming a preserved while preserving a portion of the second silicon germanium layer over a second region;
- counterdoping to n-type the exposed regions of the first silicon germanium layer that are not covered by the second silicon germanium layer;
- selectively depositing a compressively strained, epitaxial third silicon germanium layer in the first region, the third silicon germanium layer having a third germanium concentration that is higher than the first germanium concentration;
- and
- forming a plurality of shallow trench isolation regions in the first region and the second region of the second silicon germanium layer.
