As semiconductor device dimensions shrink and packing-densities rise, issues of parasitic capacitance and circuit speed become increasingly important. The use of thin-film silicon-on-insulator (TFSOI) substrates for device fabrication is being explored in order to increase switching speeds. One version of TFSOI being explored for device fabrication is SIMOX (Silicon-separation by Implanted OXygen).A buried oxide layer is created by highdose oxygen implantation into silicon wafers followed by annealing to cause coalescence of oxide regions into a continuous layer. A thin silicon layer remains above the buried oxide (~220 nm Si after additional thinning). Device structures can now be fabricated upon this thin silicon layer.Current fabrication of metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) requires formation of a polysilicon/oxide gate between source and drain regions. Contact to the source/drain and gate regions is typically made by use of TiSi2 layers followedby Al(Cu) metal lines. TiSi2 has a relatively low contact resistance and reduces the series resistance of both source/drain as well as gate regions

AbstractFormation of highly activated, ultra-shallow and abrupt profiles is a key requirement for the next generations of CMOS devices, particularly for source-drain extensions. For p-type dopant implants (boron), a promising method of increasing junction abruptness is to use Ge preamorphizing implants prior to ultra-low energy B implantation and solid-phase epitaxy regrowth to re-crystallize the amorphous Si. However, for future technology nodes, new issues arise when bulk silicon is supplanted by silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Previous results have shown that the buried Si/SiO2 interface can improve dopant activation, but the effect depends on the detailed preamorphization conditions and further optimization is required. In this paper a range of B doses and Ge energies have been chosen in order to situate the end-of-range (EOR) defect band at various distances from the back interface of the active silicon film (the interface with the buried oxide), in order to explore and optimize further the effect of the interface on dopant behavior. Electrical and structural properties were measured by Hall Effect and SIMS techniques. The results show that the boron deactivates less in SOI material than in bulk silicon, and crucially, that the effect increases as the distance from the EOR defect band to the back interface is decreased. For the closest distances, an increase in junction steepness is also observed, even though the B is located close to the top surface, and thus far from the back interface. The position of the EOR defect band shows the strongest influence for lower B doses.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology is an effective approach of mitigating the short channel effect (SCE) problems. The SOI is believed to be capable of suppressing the SCE, thereby improving the overall electrical characteristics of MOSFET device. SCE in SOI MOSFET is heavily influenced by thin film thickness, thin-film doping density and buried oxide (BOX) thickness. This paper will analyze the effect of BOX towards SOI MOSFET device. The 50nm and 10nm thickness of buried oxide in SOI MOSFET was developed by using SILVACO TCAD tools, specifically known as Athena and Atlas modules. From the observation, the electrical characteristic of 100nm thickness is slightly better than 50nm and 10nm. It is observed that the value drive current of 10nm and 100nm thickness SOI MOSFET was 6.9% and 11% lower than 50nm respectively, but the overall 50nm is superior. However, the electrical characteristics of 10nm SOI MOSFET are still closer and within the range of ITRS 2013 prediction.

ABSTRACTOxygen has been implanted into Si wafers at high doses and elevated temperatures to form a buried SiO2 layer for use in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures. Substrate heater temperatures have been varied (300, 400, 450 and 500°C) to determine the effect on the structure of the superficial Si layer through a processing cycle of implantation, annealing, and epitaxial growth. Transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the structure of the superficial layer. The structure of the samples was examined after implantation, after annealing at 1150°C for 3 hours, and after growth of the epitaxial Si layer. There was a marked effect on the structure of the superficial Si layer due to varying substrate heater temperature during implantation. The single crystal structure of the superficial Si layer was preserved at all implantation temperatures from 300 to 500°C. At the highest heater temperature the superficial Si layer contained larger precipitates and fewer defects than did wafers implanted at lower temperatures. Annealing of the as-implanted wafers significantly reduced structural differences. All wafers had a region of large, amorphous 10 to 50 nm precipitates in the lower two-thirds of the superficial Si layer while in the upper third of the layer there were a few threading dislocations. In wafers implanted at lower temperatures the buried oxide grew at the top surface only. During epitaxial Si growth the buried oxide layer thinned and the precipitate region above and below the oxide layer thickened for all wafers. There were no significant structural differences of the epitaxial Si layer for wafers with different implantation temperatures. The epitaxial layer was high quality single crystal Si and contained a few threading dislocations. Overall, structural differences in the epitaxial Si layer due to differences in implantation temperature were minimal.

ABSTRACTThe stable growth conditions of erbium-silicide on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) are investigated considering annealing temperature, SOI and sputtered erbium thickness. From the sheet resistance measurement, X-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy analysis, the optimum annealing temperature is determined as 500°C. Also, for the stable growth of erbium- silicide on SOI, the sputtered erbium thickness should be less than 1.5 times of SOI thickness. As the SOI thickness decreases below this critical thickness, erbium-rich region is formed at the erbium-silicide and buried-oxide interface. By applying the optimized erbium-silicide growth conditions, 50-nm-gate-length n-type SB-MOSFET is manufactured, which shows the possible usage of erbium-silicide as the source and drain material in the n-type Schottky barrier MOSFETs for decananometer regime applications.
