“…In the previous reports, great efforts have been expended on the elimination of MDs in p + /p and p/p + epiwafers. Masazara [2], Herzog [3], Lee [4], Tillack [5], Rodriguez [6] presented Ge-B codoping in epi-layers to reduce the mismatch strain in the p + /p epi-wafers. Lin [7] pointed out that mismatch strain in the p/p + epi-wafers could be reduced by Ge-B codoping in the heavily borondoped substrates, thereby, the warpage and bow of epiwafers could be reduced.…”
