제목 Advanced materials for the future heterointegrated system via remote epitaxy technologies
초록    The growth of various epitaxy materials is limited by crystal structure and lattice mismatch although high-quality single-crystalline thin films can be formed onto the substrate via conventional epitaxy technique. In addition, conventional heteroepitaxy of lattice-mismatched systems generates dislocations to release the strain energy between epilayer and substrate. Since the formation of dislocations in the epilayer degrades device performance, it is essential to control the formation and growth of defects.  
  Here, we demonstrate the role of a graphene layer that allows the heteroepitaxy materials of the highly mismatched systems with reduced dislocation density.[1] Van der Waals field generated onto graphene film effectively controls ionic force between the seed atoms of epilayer and substrate at the early stage of growth, which enables spontaneous relaxation of the epilayer before the accumulated elastic energy created by the lattice mismatch induces misfit dislocations. From the system with a small lattice mismatch, we observed that conventional heteroepitaxy gradually relaxes the misfit train via the introduction of dislocation, while heteroepitaxy on graphene-coated substrates abruptly relaxes the strain in the epilayer via interface displacement on the graphene's slippery surface. This effect becomes more prominent in a highly mismatched system, where a substantially reduced dislocation density is seen. The spontaneous relaxation technique could enable the monolithic integration of largely lattice-mismatched systems with minimized dislocation density, which could eventually broaden the material spectrum for advanced electronics and photonics. Also, this innovative technique is successfully applied to the heterogeneous integration of single-crystalline complex-oxide membranes.[2] The combination of remote heteroepitaxy and engineered heteroepitaxy with the buffer layer establishes a platform for the future stacking three-dimensional structure.[3]
