Formation of giant single-crystalline Ge-on-insulator (GOI) with 400 pm length is demonstrated by using seeding lateral liquid-phase epitaxy (L-LPE). High quality (100), (110), and (111) oriented single-crystals are obtained on Si substrates covered with SiO(2). A mechanism based on the solidification temperature gradient due to Si-Ge mixing and the thermal gradient due to latent heat at the growth front is proposed. An additional experiment on quartz substrates well supports the importance of Si-Ge mixing as a trigger for giant L-LPE of Ge. This process opens up the possibility of Ge-based fully-depleted field-effect transistors with high electron and hole mobilities. (C) 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
