Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] - The object of the present invention is a multilayer structure comprising a substrate and a heterogeneous epitaxial deposition on the substrate and a germanium layer (siGe layer) 'The lattice constant of this SiGe layer is different from the lattice constant of the substrate. The Shixia system deposited on this type of SiGe layer is biaxially strained. Since the mobility of the charge carriers in the strained stone is higher than that of the unstrained enthalpy, there is an increasing interest in electronic components that use strain enthalpy to increase the switching rate. φ [Prior Art] A SiGe layer composed of a mixture of cerium and lanthanum and having a cerium content of 20 to 50% and being as completely relaxed as possible is particularly suitable for depositing strain enthalpy. Because the lattice constant of the SiGe layer is larger than the lattice constant of the fragment, the dream lattice on this type of layer will expand, and the manufacturing layer should be changed. Usually, Shi Xi is also used as a substrate for a relaxed SiGe layer deposited thereon. Because of the different lattice constants, the growing heterogeneous epitaxial layer itself has been changed from the beginning. The strain phenomenon disappears after crossing the one-critical layer thickness, forming a dislocation _ (dislocations). The staggered row tends to continue in a plane along the growth direction of the growing layer. However, threading dislocations also form an extension of misfit dislocations. The thread difference rows extend along the growth direction of the SiGe layer to the surface of the layer as far as possible. This phenomenon is more serious if the deposited SiGe layer is relaxed during a simple heat treatment (annealing). The difference in the number of threads should be avoided as much as possible, as it is usually sustained in the layer deposited on the SiGe layer and the function of the electronic components integrated in the layer of this type is interrupted. The stacking of thread gaps is particularly harmful. Another important parameter for the quality of the SiGe layer is the surface roughness, which should be as low as possible. The difference 5 1289881 differential discharge produces a stress field and results in a local variation in the growth rate during the growth of the SiGe layer and the final surface topography, which is a known cross-line surface topography that is also transferred to the SiGe layer. Floor. The measurement of such cross-hatching is the surface root mean square roughness, as measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). There has been a strategy to reduce the density of thread gaps. One possible option is to gradually or continuously increase the germanium concentration in the SiGe layer. Another method is to deposit the SiGe layer on another layer having a high concentration of point defects. The staggered row tends to form a closed-loop, which passes through the region of the high-density point defect and does not extend into the thread difference row facing the surface of the SiGe layer. The density of the thread difference of the surface of the substrate is still at least lxio7 thread difference/square centimeter, so the density is still too high for materials suitable for the manufacture of electronic components. US 2004/0067644 A1 discloses a method which reduces the thread difference density to below 1 x 1 〇 5 thread difference/square centimeter. The method essentially involves etching the surface of the SiGe layer while heat treating the relaxed SiGe layer (etch anneal). The beneficial side effect of this method is that the surface roughness can also be reduced. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION φ The object of the present invention is to provide a multilayer structure and a simple method of fabricating the same, wherein the surface of the structure has a low roughness, a low thread difference density, and a low thread difference stack density. <Embodiment] The subject matter of the present invention is a multilayer structure comprising a substrate and a germanium and germanium layer (SiGe layer) deposited on the substrate by heteroepitaxial epitaxy, the SiGe layer being composed of SiNxGex and The lattice constant is different from the lattice constant of 矽, the multilayer structure includes a thin interfacial layer deposited on the SiGe layer and having a composition of Sii_yGey, the thin interfacial layer confined 6.1289881 thread difference row, and at least another A layer deposited on the interfacial layer differs in the surface of the multi-layer structure in a stack of special streaks and a low coarseness.

The siGe layer can be strained or relaxed. The SiGe layer may also have a layer having a gradual or continuous increase in the concentration of the suexm in the gradual concentration of the layer, and the surface concentration of the layer is silxGex. The index X is preferably between 〇 2 and 〇 · 5. Preferably, the SiGe layer is located on the surface of the substrate as a substrate, particularly preferably on the semiconductor wafer of the Shi Xi, or the insulator layer (SOI) of the oxide layer under the layer - and below - The structure of the layer. According to the present invention, a thin interfacial layer is deposited on the siGe layer, and the interfacial layer is limited to the difference in the thread at the interface of the SiGe layer, so the multilayer structure is compared to the thread displacement density of the surface of the SiGe layer. The difference in the discharge density of these threads on the surface is greatly reduced. The thread difference density (TDD) on the surface of the multi-layer structure is at most ΐ 5χΐ〇: the swarf difference is good, and (4) is the difference/square. The thread difference packing density (PuD) is preferably at most 丨 cm/cm 2 . The surface of the multilayer structure 7 1289881 roughness is preferably up to 2A root mean square (1 micron X1 micron measurement window). The thickness of the interface layer is preferably 2 to 3G nanometers. If the thickness of the interface layer is below or above the lower limit of the preferred thickness range, it has a negative effect on the coarseness of the surface of the interface layer, and therefore has a negative effect on the surface of the multilayer structure. The interfacial layer has a constant composition Sii_yGey ' wherein the index y is preferably the same as the index χ. The interface layer is > the SiGe layer is exposed to a gaseous mixture containing hydrogen, a hydrogen halide compound, a compound of the compound, and a compound of a wrong compound. This is preferably done in a remote crystal reactor. The concentration of the gaseous compound is set such that the composition of the SiwGey material undergoes a net deposition under selected pressure and temperature conditions. Preferably, the deposition is carried out at a temperature between 900 and 1100 C and at atmospheric pressure or at a lower pressure. The deposition rate is greater than 0 nm/min and preferably at most 50 nm/min. Suitable rhodium compounds include SiH4 and chlorodecane, with dichloromethane being preferred. Suitable hydrazine compounds are chlorodecane and its alkyl derivatives, and GeH4. It is especially good with GeH4, GeCl4 and CHsGeCl3. The ratio of the ruthenium compound to the erbium compound used as the deposition interface layer in the gas atmosphere is set such that the grown interface layer has the desired composition φ Sll-yGey. Preferably, the hydrogen halide compound is HC1 in the gas atmosphere. The ratio of the surface functional nitrogen compound to the ruthenium compound and the ruthenium compound is preferably within the range of 100:1 to 1.9. Due to the low density of the surface thread difference and the low roughness of the surface of the interface layer, it is particularly suitable for _- as a layer of the other layer directly on the surface of the interface layer. Nevertheless, it is also possible to deposit one or more layers in advance, for example, before the deposition of the L-layer, a 'depositable-relaxed heterogeneous stray layer (with a composition of SiNzGez) can be used as a buffer layer on the interface layer; In this case, the index z is preferably pushed in the same way as the & number y. The relaxation of the buffer layer is preferably greater than 9%. The thickness of the buffer 8 1289881 layer is preferably from 1 to 2 microns. Comparative Example: The ruthenium substrate wafer was treated under reduced pressure in a single-wafer epitaxial reactor, and the following steps were performed: • First step: Reactor charging second step · At a temperature of 1120 QC, in hydrogen Heat treatment of the substrate wafer (H2 baking) in the presence of the third step: depositing a SiGe layer (transfer layer) having an increased germanium content (0 to C 20%) at a temperature of 800 to 900 ° C. : Depositing a buffer layer (constant composition layer) with a constant tantalum content of 20% and 1 micron thick. Step 5 · Depositing a strain of 18 nm thick at 700 ° C. Step 6: From Multilayer structure formed by reactor unloading: Other substrate wafers of the same type as the comparative examples were treated in the same φ reactor as in the comparative example, but with one difference: first to third steps: as compared Example 4: By introducing a mixture of hydrogen chloride, dichlorosilane and decane, a fifth to seventh step of depositing an interface layer of ruthenium and osmium having a constant yttrium content of 20% at a temperature of 1050 QC: Multilayer structure formed by the same test from four to six steps: Inspection system of interface layer Cross-sectional electron microscopy instrument (X-TEM) whom. The first figure clearly shows the interface layer between the hierarchical layer (with the difference network) and the constant composition layer. The interface layer has a thickness of 9 1289881 degrees of about 2 to 3 nm. The second figure shows how the difference from the SiGe layer is absorbed in the interfacial layer. The difference is present in the boundary between the siGe layer and the interfacial layer and does not further grow into a buffer layer. The deposition of the planar interface layer reduces the thread difference density (TDD), especially the stacking density (PixD) of the difference, and also reduces the root mean square roughness, so the interleaving cable (c(7) wood structure can be dispensed with. During the deposition of the interface layer, the surface morphology is affected by changes in processing conditions over a wide range.
