Abstract

A method for forming on a Ge or Si monocrystalline substrate successive Si/Ge, Si/SiGe, or Si/SiGe/Ge layers for a Ge substrate and inversely for a Si substrate is described. Electrochemical treatment of the stack of layers to make the layers porous and form therein residual crystallites is also described. The invention may be used to provide devices having layers of planes of quantum drops.
