Abstract
A crystalline base substrate including a first semiconductor material and having a main surface is provided. The base substrate is processed so as to damage a lattice structure of the base substrate in a first region that extends to the main surface without damaging a lattice structure of the base substrate in second regions that are adjacent to the first region. A first semiconductor layer of a second semiconductor material is formed on a portion of the main surface that includes the first and second regions. A third region of the first semiconductor layer covers the first region of the base substrate, and a fourth region of the first semiconductor layer covers the second region of the base substrate. The third region has a crystalline structure that is disorganized relative to a crystalline structure of the fourth region. The first and second semiconductor materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion.
