Defect free strain relaxation of microcrystals on mesoporous patterned silicon
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A perfectly compliant substrate would allow the monolithic integration of high-quality semiconductor materials such as Ge and III-V on Silicon (Si) substrate, enabling novel functionalities on the well-established low-cost Si technology platform. Here, we demonstrate a compliant Si substrate allowing defect-free epitaxial growth of lattice mismatched materials. The method is based on the deep patterning of the Si substrate to form micrometer-scale pillars and subsequent electrochemical porosification. The investigation of the epitaxial Ge crystalline quality by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and etch-pits counting demonstrates the full elastic relaxation of defect-free microcrystals. The achievement of dislocation free heteroepitaxy relies on the interplay between elastic deformation of the porous micropillars, set under stress by the lattice mismatch between Ge and Si, and on the diffusion of Ge into the mesoporous patterned substrate attenuating the mismatch strain at the Ge/Si interface.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
