Abstract
A method for manufacturing a plurality of crystalline semiconductor islands having a variety of lattice parameters includes the following steps: providing a relaxation substrate that comprises a medium, a flow layer disposed on the medium and, a plurality of strained crystalline semiconductor islands having an initial lattice parameter located on the flow layer, a first group of islands having a first lattice parameter and a second group of islands having a second lattice parameter that is different from the first; and heat treating the relaxation substrate at a relaxation temperature greater than or equal to the glass transition temperature of the flow layer to cause differentiated lateral expansion of the islands of the first and second group. The lattice parameter of the relaxed islands of the first group and the relaxed islands of the second group then have different values.
