Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Stacking fault and twin blocking barrier for integrating III-V on Si." This invention describes a method for forming a III-V device layer on a silicon substrate. The embodiments of this invention enable the formation of III-V InSb device layers with defect densities below 1×10 cm on silicon substrates. A buffer layer is strategically positioned between the III-V device layer and the silicon substrate to facilitate the gliding of dislocations. The GaSb buffer layer is selected based on its lattice constant, band gap, and melting point to minimize the propagation of lattice defects into the III-V device layer. In a specific embodiment, a III-V InSb device layer is formed directly on the GaSb buffer.
