A method of controlling an internal stress in a polycrystalline silicon-germanium layer deposited on a substrate. The method includes selecting a deposition pressure that is at or below atmospheric pressure and selecting a deposition temperature that is no greater than 700.degree. C. The deposition pressure and the deposition temperature are selected so as to achieve an internal stress in the silicon-germanium layer that is within a predetermined range.
