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.

Lower warp is required for the single crystal silicon wafers sawn by a fixed diamond wire saw with the thinness of a silicon wafer. The residual stress in the surface layer of the silicon wafer is the primary reason for warp, which is generated by the phase transitions, elastic-plastic deformation, and non-uniform distribution of thermal energy during wire sawing. In this paper, an experiment of multi-wire sawing single crystal silicon is carried out, and the Raman spectra technique is used to detect the phase transitions and residual stress in the surface layer of the silicon wafers. Three different wire speeds are used to study the effect of wire speed on phase transition and residual stress of the silicon wafers. The experimental results indicate that amorphous silicon is generated during resin bonded diamond wire sawing, of which the Raman peaks are at 178.9 cm−1 and 468.5 cm−1. The ratio of the amorphous silicon surface area and the surface area of a single crystal silicon, and the depth of amorphous silicon layer increases with the increasing of wire speed. This indicates that more amorphous silicon is generated. There is both compressive stress and tensile stress on the surface layer of the silicon wafer. The residual tensile stress is between 0 and 200 MPa, and the compressive stress is between 0 and 300 MPa for the experimental results of this paper. Moreover, the residual stress increases with the increase of wire speed, indicating more amorphous silicon generated as well.
