Abstract

We have investigated and controlled introduction of stable stresses into semiconductor heterostructures using a simple scheme of interfacial reactions between a metal and the substrate. Since the volumetric change for a given reaction is fixed, he induced stress in the structure is independent of the deposition method or the deposition system, as long as the deposited film is fully reacted to form a compounds, The stability of the stress depends on the stability of the compounds.
