Abstract

See full text

A strain relaxed buffer layer of a second semiconductor material and of a second lattice constant and containing misfit dislocation defects and threading dislocation defects is formed atop a surface of a first semiconductor material of a first lattice constant that differs from the second lattice constant. The surface of the first semiconductor material includes at least one recessed region and adjoining non-recessed regions. An anneal is then performed on the strain relaxed buffer layer to propagate and amass the misfit dislocation defects and threading dislocation defects at a sidewall of each of the non-recessed regions of the first semiconductor material.
