In article number 1603269 , Abderraouf Boucherif, Richard Arès, and co‐workers, propose a novel concept of a tunable compliant substrate for epitaxy. This substrate extends the range of available lattice constants for epitaxial semiconductor alloys. Excellent properties, such as thermal stability up to 900 °C, lattice tuning of at least 0.9% mistmatch, and compliance under stress are demonstrated experimentally. Theoretically, a model is proposed to define the compliant substrate design rules.
