A method for reduction of threading dislocation density (TDD) in lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy is proposed, and the reduction is experimentally verified for Ge on Si. Flat-top epitaxial layers are formed through coalescences of non-planar selectively grown epitaxial layers, and enable the TDD reduction in terms of image force. Numerical calculations and experiments for Ge on Si verify the TDD reduction by this method. The method should be applicable to not only Ge on Si but also other lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy such as III-V on Si.A method for reduction of threading dislocation density (TDD) in lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy is proposed, and the reduction is experimentally verified for Ge on Si.
