Abstract

Semiconductor structures having at least one quantum well heterostructure grown strain-free on Si(100) via a Sn 1-x Ge x buffer layer and their uses are provided.

Claims (5)

1. A semiconductor structure comprising: a single quantum well Ge 1-x1-y Si x1 Sn y /Ge 1-x2 Si x2 heterostructure grown strain-free on Si(100) via a Sn 1-x Ge x buffer layer.

2. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 wherein the heterostructure is deposited via chemical vapor deposition.
