Method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, semiconductor structure, and electronic device

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure comprises the steps of: providing a substrate including a first semiconductor material; forming a dielectric layer on a surface of the substrate; forming an opening in the dielectric layer having a bottom reaching the substrate; providing a second semiconductor material in the opening and on the substrate, the second semiconductor material being en-capsulated by a further dielectric material thereby forming a filled cavity; melting the second semiconductor material in the cavity; recrystallizing the second semi-conductor material in the cavity; laterally removing the second semiconductor material at least partially for forming a lateral surface at the second semiconductor material; and forming a third semiconductor material on the lateral surface of the second semiconductor material, wherein the third semiconductor material is different from the second semiconductor material.
