20120161152 | EPITAXIAL SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING EPITAXIAL SUBSTRATE - Provided is a crack-free epitaxial substrate having a small amount of warping, in which a silicon substrate is used as a base substrate. The epitaxial substrate includes a (111) single crystal Si substrate, a buffer layer, and a crystal layer. The buffer layer is formed of a first lamination unit and a second lamination unit being alternately laminated. The first lamination unit includes a composition modulation layer and a first intermediate layer. The composition modulation layer is formed of a first unit layer and a second unit layer having different compositions being alternately and repeatedly laminated so that a compressive strain exists therein. The first intermediate layer enhances the compressive strain existing in the composition modulation layer. The second lamination unit is a second intermediate layer that is substantially strain-free. | 06-28-2012 |
20130020583 | EPITAXIAL SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING EPITAXIAL SUBSTRATE - Provided is a crack-free epitaxial substrate. The epitaxial substrate includes: a (111) single crystal Si substrate and a buffer layer formed of a first and a second lamination unit being alternately laminated such that each of an uppermost and a lowermost portion of the buffer layer is formed of the first lamination unit. The first lamination unit is formed of a first and a second composition layer having different compositions being alternately laminated so as to increase the thickness of the second composition layer in a portion more distant from the base substrate side, to thereby cause a compressive strain to exist in the first lamination unit such that it increases in a portion more distant from the base substrate. The second lamination unit is formed as an intermediate layer that is substantially strain-free and formed with a thickness of 15 nm or more and 150 nm or less. | 01-24-2013 |
