An analysis was carried out of SOI/SIMOX structures obtained by sequential implantation and annealing (SIA). The analysis of these structures has been made in relation to those obtained by an equivalent standard single implant and anneal (SS structures), by means of infrared reflection spectroscopy. The use of a fast Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) system allows the combination of a low measuring time of the spectra (on the order of several minutes) with a high spectral resolution (up to 0.02 cm/sup -1/). Complementary optical measurements such as photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy using different excitation powers and wavelengths reveal the higher quality of the surface region of the top silicon layer free of precipitates in the SIA material. These data, together with the FTIR results, show the potential of the SIA technique for obtaining high quality quasi-ideal SOI structures.<>

Total dose radiation hardness measurements were performed on SOI (silicon-on-insulator) test structures where the insulator was chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond in order to look at the fundamental radiation response of low-pressure CVD synthetic diamond materials for SOI applications. Silicon/diamond metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) capacitors were subjected to both cobalt-60 and 10 keV X-ray irradiation up to doses of 1*10/sup 7/ rad(SiO/sub 2/) while under positive, negative, and zero bias conditions. One-MHz capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were performed to monitor the device threshold and flatband voltage shifts. In order to evaluate any time-dependent bias-temperature instabilities, all devices, after irradiation, were baked at 150 degrees C with +5 V applied bias for five weeks. The measured results for flatband voltage shift versus time for 10 keV X-ray irradiation are presented. The diamond insulators used were free from extensive hole or electron trapping. This behavior is consistent with the high electron and hole mobility of the polycrystalline diamond insulator.<>

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) and capacitance-time (C-T) measurements used to yield valuable material parameters in thin-film silicon-on-insulator MOS capacitors are considered. The authors previously demonstrated (1989) that a two-terminal C-V can yield the thickness of the body (silicon overlayer) and the buried oxide. However, a more comprehensive assessment of SOI material necessitates the evaluation of the generation lifetime in the body region, as this quantity directly correlates with leakage current and is crucial in determining parasitic effects such as lateral bipolar action in SOI transistors. It is shown that the minority carrier generation lifetime can be obtained by monitoring the capacitance between the gate and substrate after the application of a step voltage.<>

Self-aligned silicide (salicide) is necessary to reduce device resistances associated with an ultra-thin film fully-depleted (UTF/FD) CMOS SOI technology. A salicide process for use with UTF/FD CMOS SOI devices is developed, and subsequent transistor characteristics are shown. Process optimization was achieved through experimental design techniques by minimizing salicide sheet resistance and improving salicide uniformity across the wafer. Replicates at the center points of the experimental designs determined the repeatability of the process and the ability of the models to predict responses. The salicide process developed for SOI is a four-step procedure: (1) Ti deposition (500 AA), (2) monosilicide formation (600-700 degrees C), (3) TiN/Ti removal (1:1 NH/sub 4/OH:H/sub 2/O/sub 2/), and (4) disilicide formation (700-800 degrees C).<>

The floating-body bipolar junction transistor (BJT) effects in fully depleted 0.5- mu m n-channel SOI (silicon on insulator) MOSFETs are analyzed, based on two-dimensional device simulations and on device measurements. PISCES simulations of the BJT-induced breakdown and latch phenomena are done, and parametric dependences are examined to give physical insight for optimal design. The analysis further relates the DC-breakdown and latch mechanisms in the fully depleted SOI MOSFET to the actual BJT-induced problems in an operating SOI CMOS circuit. A comprehensive understanding of floating-body effects is attained.<>

Photoinduced transient spectroscopy (PITS) was used to measure the persistent photoconductive (PPC) response in film resistors fabricated on two different commercial n-type SIMOX (separation by implantation of oxygen) wafers. A broadband, single-shot, flashlamp-pumped dye-laser pulse was used to photoexcite interband electrons in the film, and the decay of the induced excess carrier population was measured at temperatures in the 60-220 K range. The post-illumination conductivity transients observed show PPC signals exhibiting a nonexponential character. They were recorded for periods of time up to 30 s at constant temperature. Presented are the excess conductivity in SIMOX film annealed in nitrogen at 1300 degrees C for 6 h and the hole-trap volume density at the conductive-film-buried-silicon interface.<>

The physics of ultrathin, fully depleted SOI MOSFETs are studied to obtain more accurate device equations and models and a better understanding of the carrier generation properties. It is found that the surface potential at threshold varies with the backgate potential, rather than being constant, as is usually assumed. The linear transconductance is also a strong function of the back gate voltage. The expressions presented can be used to determine the optimum back gate bias for maximum transconductance and mobility. The dual-gate Zerbst-like method is adapted for the study of carrier generation properties. Suitable biasing is used to set up a conductive channel in one interface and a transient variation of the surface potential in the other. The steady-state regime is gradually reached by charge generation in the film volume, the interfaces, and the sidewalls, giving rise to drain current transients. The corresponding generation rates are obtained by measuring and correctly modeling these transients.<>

BESOI (bond and etchback silicon-on-insulator) substrates were used to create a trench isolated SOI process. The SOI substrates reduce the substrate capacitance and achieve better decoupling between digital and analog portions of the circuits. Changes were made to the process to incorporate the SOI substrates, but overall the process complexity was reduced using these substrates. The BESOI substrates, with approximately 3 mu m of thinned p-type silicon on 1 mu m of buried oxide, were processed through buried layer, epi, and N+ deep collector processes. The trench silicon etch was masked with a sandwich of LTO, nitride, and pad oxide. A 5- mu m-deep silicon trench etch was done before the etch stops on the buried oxide. After a thin sacrificial oxide was grown on the trench side walls, the thin pad oxide was stripped with a buffered HF dip. The electrical characteristics of the material were excellent.<>

Germanium-implanted double solid phase epitaxial (DSPE) material was produced in 0.3- mu m intrinsic silicon on sapphire. First, 4*10/sup 14/ germanium ions/cm/sup 2/ were implanted at 320 keV in a nonaligned direction. This implantation amorphized the inner part of the silicon. The wafers were annealed at 550, 600, 700, 800, 900 or 1000 degrees C. Next, 8*10/sup 14/ germanium ions/cm/sup 2/ were implanted at 100 keV. The implantation formed a 100-nm thick amorphous layer beneath the surface. This layer was epitaxially regrown from the inner part of the silicon crystal during the second annealing treatment, which was made at the same temperature as the first one for each wafer. Only a low number of implantation-induced carriers were formed in germanium-implanted intrinsic silicon on sapphire. Another advantage of using germanium for the amorphization is that the implantation dose can be reduced by more than 50% compared with silicon ions.<>

Generally in SOS (silicon on sapphire) films, the density of Si defects such as twins and stacking faults is quite high, especially near the Si/sapphire interface, mainly due to the lattice mismatch between Si and sapphire. This leads to inferior electrical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Although it has been reported that the characteristics of SOS devices can be improved by a pulse laser irradiation, the quality of laser-irradiated SOS films has not been investigated in detail. It is demonstrated that the SOS films have been significantly improved by CW-Ar laser recrystallization, resulting in almost defect-free SOS films. The defect-free SOS films reduce back-channel leakage currents in both n- and p-MOSFETs, while at the same time improving carrier mobilities by 30-50%.<>
通常在SOS (silicon on sapphire)薄膜中，Si缺陷(如孪晶和层错)的密度相当高，特别是在Si/蓝宝石界面附近，主要是由于Si和蓝宝石之间的晶格不匹配。这导致电性能较差相比，他们的散装同行。虽然有报道称脉冲激光照射可以改善SOS器件的特性，但尚未对激光照射SOS薄膜的质量进行详细研究。结果表明，通过CW-Ar激光再结晶，SOS薄膜的质量得到了显著改善，SOS薄膜几乎没有缺陷。无缺陷的SOS薄膜减少了n-和p- mosfet的背道泄漏电流，同时将载流子迁移率提高了30-50%。
