Abstract
A method for manufacturing a plurality of crystalline semiconductor islands having different lattice parameters includes providing a relaxation substrate comprising a support and a flow layer on the support that includes first and second groups of blocks having different viscosities at a relaxation temperature. The relaxation substrate also comprises a plurality of strained crystalline semiconductor islands on the flow layer, the islands of a first group being located on the first group of blocks and islands of a second group being located on the second group of blocks. The relaxation substrate is then heat treated at a relaxation temperature higher than or equal to the glass transition temperature of at least one block of the flow layer to cause differentiated lateral expansion of the first and second groups of islands such that the first and second groups of relaxed islands then have different lattice parameters.
