| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have been developing a sputter epitaxy (SPE) method capable of forming a completely compressive-strained SiGe film with a higher Ge composition ratio on Si than in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and obtained a highly flat growth film. The structures of the Si/SiGe hole-tunneling resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) were designed on the basis of the results obtained by simulation, and we have developed manufacturing processes using the completely compressive-strained SiGe film formation technology with this SPE method and the high-melting-point electrode and silicon-dioxide insulating film formation technologies. The double- and triple-barrier RTDs fabricated with a Ge composition ratio of 0.18 achieved the world's largest peak current density for SiGe RTDs. Even with a higher Ge composition ratio of 0.24, an excellent peak current density close to the theoretical value was also achieved.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高Ge組成比でSiに格子整合した圧縮歪SiGe/Siヘテロ構造を用いて，高性能な共鳴トンネルダイオード(RTD)を実現した．SiGe/Siヘテロ構造は，RTDを含めて，高移動度トランジスタ，ヘテロバイポーラトランジスタ（HBT）など様々な高速デバイスに用いられている．例えば，Ge組成比の増大に伴って性能の向上するHBTに適応するなど，様々な高速デバイスの革新的な新しい展開に繋がる．このような特徴は現行の半導体成膜の量産技術である化学気相堆積（CVD）法には無い特徴であり，今後の高速デバイスの開発を展開する新しい半導体成膜技術として期待され，産業・民生電子機器の新しい展開と産業への寄与は大きい．
