Abstract

Silicon-germanium devices including MOSFETs, photogates and photodiodes, are produced by implanting the Si or polycrystalline silicon substrate with Ge.sup.+, to realize active SiGe regions within Si which are substantially free from defects, at an appropriate point in the fabrication by conventional techniques.
