METHOD AND STRUCTURE OF SINGLE CRYSTAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH ENHANCED STRAIN INTERFACE REGIONS BY IMPURITY INTRODUCTION
A method of manufacture and resulting structure for a single crystal electronic device with an enhanced strain interface region. The method of manufacture can include forming a nucleation layer overlying a substrate and forming a first and second single crystal layer overlying the nucleation layer. These first and second layers can be doped by introducing one or more impurity species to form the strained single crystal layers. The first and second strained layers can be aligned along the same crystallographic direction to form a strained single crystal bi-layer having an enhanced strain interface region. Using this enhanced single crystal bi-layer to form active or passive devices results in improved physical characteristics, such as enhanced photon velocity or improved density charges.
