Abstract

A method for making a semiconductor device may include forming an insulating layer on a substrate, and forming a semiconductor layer on the insulating layer on a side thereof opposite the substrate. The method may further include forming a superlattice on the semiconductor layer on a side thereof opposite the insulating layer. The superlattice may include a plurality of stacked groups of layers, with each group comprising a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion and at least one non-semiconductor monolayer thereon. Moreover, the at least one non-semiconductor monolayer may be constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions.
