Silicon Membranes

ABSTRACTSelf-supporting, thin single crystal membranes can be fabricated from silicon wafers using ion implantation, anodic etching and subsequent annealing. Typically, membranes approximately 1200Å thick and about 250μm in diameter are formed in wafers 4 mil thick. Discs surrounding the membranes can be cut out to provide suitable TEM samples. In this paper, the steps for preparing such samples are presented with as much attention paid to experimental details as possible.

ABSTRACTNickel structures have been deposited on large (300 μm diameter), thin (1400 to 3000Å) single crystal (111) silicon membranes. On annealing, the nickel-silicon reaction generates strain which can be partially accommodated through buckling of the membrane, a mode of strain relief not available on bulk wafers. Examples of such buckling are presented in this paper. Features of the silicide structures observed include thin epitaxial Ni2 Si that grows on clean surfaces during deposition, vertical and lateral growth of NiSi2 into the membrane from nickel dots, and the absence of interfacial dislocations between NiSi2 and silicon, probably due to the stress relief.

Oxygen Ion Implantation

The formation of buried oxide structures in single crystal silicon by high-dose oxygen ion implantation has received considerable attention recently for applications in advanced electronic device fabrication. This process is performed in a vacuum, and under the proper implantation conditions results in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure with a top single crystal silicon layer on an amorphous silicon dioxide layer. The top Si layer has the same orientation as the silicon substrate. The quality of the outermost portion of the Si top layer is important in device fabrication since it either can be used directly to build devices, or epitaxial Si may be grown on this layer. Therefore, careful characterization of the results of the ion implantation process is essential.
