Abstract

In order to transfer thin layers of silicon onto Si substrate, we report the effect of a thin epitaxial layer of SiGe on the nucleation and the growth of hydrogen platelets during plasma hydrogenation. SiGe strained layer was purposely used to introduce H trapping centers into Si wafers. Transmission electron microscopy has been used to quantitatively study the evolution of both density and sizes of these platelets during plasma hydrogenation. Upon hydrogenation, it is shown near SiGe layer that the platelets grow in size, reduce their density and the overall volume they occupy increase. This phenomenon is due to a non-conservative Oswald ripening. At the depth of the SiGe layer, a continuous (100) oriented cracks, which are parallel to the Si surfaces are formed.
