Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure comprises etching a semiconductor substrate having a top surface extending along a (001) crystal plane, such that a majority of a top surface of the etched semiconductor substrate extends along {111} crystal planes; forming a first epitaxial layer in contact with the top surface of the etched semiconductor substrate; and forming a second epitaxial layer on the first epitaxial layer.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein forming the recesses comprises etching the semiconductor substrate, and an etchant used in the etching the semiconductor substrate has a higher etch rate in a (110) crystal plane than in a (111) crystal plane.
