Abstract

Method for making a strained silicon structure, wherein a silicon germanium layer is formed on the silicon layer, followed by another layer with a lower concentration of germanium before selective amorphisation of the silicon and silicon germanium layer relative to this other layer before the assembly is recrystallised so as to strain the silicon semiconducting layer.
