摘要: Reverse terrace graded buffers are proposed for high quality Ge content Si0.23Ge0.77 buffers. The buffer structure allows the effects of applied thermal budget and grading rate to be separated compared previously reported reverse linearly virtual substrates. A reduction in threading dislocation density 2.1 × 106 cm− 2 an enhanced relaxation is found these structures almost identical thickness twice strain gradient linear structures, whilst a smooth surface retained with rms roughness just 1.9 nm.
