Abstract

A method, and resulting product, are disclosed for selectively forming polycrystalline silicon over exposed portions of a single crystal silicon substrate. The method includes inhibiting the formation of such polycrystalline silicon over adjacent silicon oxide surfaces; and the resulting product of such a process. The polycrystalline silicon is selectively deposited over the single crystal silicon substrate by first forming a thin layer of a lattice mismatched material over the single crystal silicon surface, and then depositing a layer of polycrystalline silicon over the lattice mismatched material. Preferably, the thin lattice mismatched layer comprises a silicon/germanium (SiGe) alloy.
