Popis: We report channel and strain engineering of self-organized, gate-stacking heterostructures comprising Ge-nanosphere gate/SiO 2 /SiGe-channels. An exquisitely controlled dynamic balance between the concentrations of oxygen, Si, and Ge interstitials was exploited to simultaneously create these heterostructures in a single oxidation step. Single-crystalline (100)/(110) Si}_{1-x}Ge}_{x} shells with Ge content as high as x= 0.85/0.35 and with a compressive strain of 3%/1.5% were achieved. Our high Ge-content, highly-stressed SiGe shells feature a high degree of crystallinity, providing a “building block” for the fabrication of Ge-based MOS devices.
