Outline of Final Research Achievements

Toward next-generation low-power-consumption and high performance semiconductor electronic devices, we focused on germanium (Ge) as a superior material alternative to silicon and developed a technique to induce crystal strain into Ge. Particularly anisotropic strain states are expected to bring the highest mobility in Ge, we developed selective ion-implantation method and succeeded in arbitral controlling of strain states by local introduction of crystal defects. As a result, we created uniaxially strained Ge by this method. Moreover, we fabricated strained Ge on insulator (GOI) substrates, which is very promising for next-generation high-mobility Ge devices.
