Structure and method for fabricating semiconductor structures and devices utilizing binary metal oxide layers

摘要

High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. One way to achieve the formation of a complaint substrate includes first growing a monocrystalline binary metal oxide material layer (14) on a substrate (12). The binary metal oxide material layer (14) is lattice matched to both the underlying substrate (12) and the overlying monocrystalline material layer (16).
