Stress and strain analysis of Si-based III - V template fabricated by ion-slicing
Journal article, 2020

Strain and stress were simulated using finite element method (FEM) for three III-V-on-Insulator (III-VOI) structures, i.e., InP/SiO2/Si, InP/Al2O3/SiO2/Si, and GaAs/Al2O3/SiO2/Si, fabricated by ion-slicing as the substrates for optoelectronic devices on Si. The thermal strain/stress imposes no risk for optoelectronic structures grown on InPOI at a normal growth temperature using molecular beam epitaxy. Structures grown on GaAsOI are more dangerous than those on InPOI due to a limited critical thickness. The intermedia Al2O3 layer was intended to increase the adherence while it brings in the largest risk. The simulated results reveal thermal stress on Al2O3 over 1 GPa, which is much higher than its critical stress for interfacial fracture. InPOI without an Al2O3 layer is more suitable as the substrate for optoelectronic integration on Si.
