Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology has surged into a position of prominence in recent years. SOI devices provide a viable technology for high-density, large-scale-integration and high performance VLSI circuits. Of late, the potential applications of SOI devices have extended to the field of power devices and mixed-mode analog-digital circuits. In this field of application in particular, selective epitaxial growth techniques such as epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) and Confined Lateral Selective Epitaxial Growth (CLSEG) provide attractive alternatives to SIMOX. ELO and CLSEG provide the means of selectively growing SOI islands in regions where high performance digital MOS circuitry are desired. Due to the low temperatures involved in selective epitaxy, mixed mode integration becomes a lot easier. This paper presents results from fully-depleted SOI devices fabricated by ELO and provides for the first time a study of interface state densities across the various interfaces in the device. In addition, thin-film fully-depleted SOI devices have been fabricated for the first time in SOI device islands fabricated by CLSEG, and the devices have been used to characterize the material.<>

Digital circuitry that would perform reliably in adverse high temperature environments is needed in applications that include under-the-hood and anti-lock braking automotive functions as well as distributed jet engine control applications. Careful circuit design practices coupled with a good understanding of how these devices perform at, elevated temperatures would allow the development of these circuit functions for reliable, long term operation in these environments. This paper describes the high temperature (to 400/spl deg/C) testing and characterization of a number of parametric test structures fabricated using United Technologies Microelectronics Center's Digital CMOS SOI (DCS) process. This technology was designed for high performance, low power, high temperature, and radiation hardened applications at conventional and reduced power supply voltage levels.<>

In this abstract a concept is presented aimed to increase the heat distribution and to reduce the thermal resistance in SOI-devices. This is realized using a combination of fusion bonding and thinning against stopping layers with deposition of poly-crystalline diamond as the buried isolator. Thus, by replacing oxide with diamond, a Silicon-on-Diamond (SOD) structure is formed.<>

SiC is an attractive material for applications requiring high operation conditions of temperature, speed, power and radiation. For these purposes, SiC has several materials properties superior to Si: wider band-gap, higher breakdown field, higher saturated electron drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. However, the cost of bulk SiC crystals is extremely high and the size of the wafer is presently still limited to 2 inch in diameter. The purpose of this work is to study the feasibility of using wafer bonding approach to transfer SiC layers grown by CVD on silicon to insulating substrates, such as oxidized silicon or sapphire. Since the quality of CVD SiC layers on silicon has been improved significantly, the transfer technology could possibly drastically reduce the cost and provide a great flexibility to explore the potential offered by SiC in many application areas: high frequency and/or rad-hard electronic devices, visible optical wave guides and planar displays.<>

In this work, self-heating effects are studied as a function of temperature. The electrical properties of fully depleted thin Si film N- and P-channel SIMOX MOSFETs are investigated between room and liquid helium temperatures. The P-and N-channel devices used in this study have been fabricated at LETI (Grenoble) with a conventionally-doped and a degenerately-doped LDD structures, respectively. The devices have an 11.5 nm gate oxide and a 380 nm buried oxide thicknesses. The article shows the drain current-drain voltage characteristics at 300 K for an N-channel SIMOX MOSFET fabricated with a degenerately doped LDD structure. The characteristics present a low negative differential resistance phenomenon for gate voltage up to 5 V. However, at 77 K, a strong negative differential resistance is observed for high gate voltages. The self heating effects are therefore significantly increased by reducing the temperature. This dependence is supposed to be due to the mobility variations and, also, the change with temperature of the threshold voltage.<>
在这项工作中,研究了自热效应与温度的函数关系。研究了完全耗尽型硅薄膜 N 沟道和 P 沟道 SIMOX MOSFET 在室温和液氦温度之间的电气特性。本研究中使用的 P 沟道和 N 沟道器件是在 LETI(格勒诺布尔)分别采用传统掺杂和变性掺杂 LDD 结构制造的。这些器件的栅极氧化层厚度为 11.5 nm,埋层氧化层厚度为 380 nm。文章展示了采用变性掺杂 LDD 结构制造的 N 沟道 SIMOX MOSFET 在 300 K 时的漏极电流-漏极电压特性。在栅极电压高达 5 V 时,该特性呈现出较低的负差分电阻现象。然而,在 77 K 时,高栅极电压会产生较强的负差分电阻。因此,降低温度会显著增加自加热效应。这种依赖性应归因于迁移率的变化,以及阈值电压随温度的变化。

It is a goal of electronic materials fabrication efforts to produce SIMOX with a low dislocation density in the superficial Si layer (the device layer) as well as a buried oxide (BOX) layer consisting of high quality SiO/sub 2/. In this paper, we study the effects of varying the implantation angle in a search for the optimal implantation conditions from the standpoint of both the BOX and the device layer. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), we show that there is a significant difference between channeled and unchanneled implantation in SIMOX.<>

In this paper we present results of a comprehensive study of the subthreshold characteristics of deep-submicron fully depleted SOI MOSFETs, and suggest optimal CMOS scaling rules based on PISCES simulations and two-dimensional analytic modeling for circuit simulation. Measurements reveal that the subthreshold swing S, which is nearly ideal at 60 mV for long-channel fully depleted devices, tends to increase drastically as L is scaled to deep-submicron values. Our previous study showed that the front-surface current contributes to the increased S via gate bias-dependent source/drain charge sharing, which reduces the effective threshold voltage. A more recent study shows that current throughout the SOI film body, including the back surface, tends to overwhelm the front-surface current in the subthreshold region, rendering the drain current less dependent on the front-gate bias and hence increasing S even more.<>

It is demonstrated that ultra-thin film (UTF) inversion-mode (IM) and accumulation-mode (AM) SIMOX MOSFETs behave similarly in terms of hot-carrier degradation. The primary degradation occurs at the interface which is activated but the effects of interface coupling can confuse lifetime predictions. Defects (such as in the buried oxide) must be clearly accounted for and decoupled in order to properly evaluate device lifetime. There was no evidence of significant enhanced degradation in ultra-thin films.<>
