Heterostructures also make a reduction of the vertical device dimension possible. Therefore, they are well suited for advanced CMOS variants with lateral structures below 0.2 /spl mu/m for fast integrated circuits. To understand the influence of new deposition methods, process-induced defects, metal contamination, and mechanical stress are a major task for present-day defect engineering. SiGe heterostructures with ultra thin layers and ultra sharp junctions promise a novel generation of silicon devices. The growth of strained SiGe enables us to apply bandgap engineering to silicon-based devices (HBT, MODFET).","PeriodicalId":266178,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Semiconductor Conference. 19th Edition.

The specific surface area increase with the electric charge involved in the etching process. At the same time the total amount of SiH bonds in the PS layer depends on the value of the effective surface. The total electric charge passed through the sample has been related with integral IR absorbances of the Si-H and Si-H/sub 2/ bands. An approximately linear function was obtained, especially for SiH. The reactivity of the PS layer related with the anodization conditions have been studied using the behaviour of the Si-O-Si bands after the oxidation in air.
