N2 - Using a novel multi-step in-situ growth and hydrogen annealing process heteroepitaxial-germanium layers have been grown directly on silicon, with defects confined near the Si/Ge interface, thus not threading to the surface as expected in this 4.2% lattice mismatched system. The results achieved are fully-relaxed single crystal Ge layers on Si with low density of x 10 6 cm -2 without a graded buffer layer or CMP step. To demonstrate the quality of the Ge layers, pMOSFETs have been fabricated using a sub-500°C process with low field mobility of ∼250 cm 2/V-sec.
