Abstract

Silicon based heterostructures offer the potential of monolithic integration of conventional integrated circuits with superlattices. A material concept is introduced which overcomes the problem of lattice mismatch between superlattice and silicon substrate by a homogeneous, thin, incommensurate buffer layer. Data about critical thicknesses, buffer layer design, strain adjustment, and band offsets are given for the SiGe/Si system. Room temperature mobility enhancement for modulation doped SiGe/Si heterostructures and its device application for a MODFET is described.
