Metal-oxide-semiconductor devices based on epitaxial germanium layers grown selectively directly on silicon substrates by ultra-high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition

This document details experiments attempting to increase the performance of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) which are the mainstay of the semiconductor industry. Replacing the silicon channel with an ultra-thin epitaxial germanium layer grown selectively on a silicon (10...
