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.

The opportunity to predict trapped charge value in buried silicon oxide of silicon-on-insulator structures using Poole−Frenkel effect was investigated. Using measuring and modeling of current–voltage characteristics of buried silicon oxide at different temperatures conditions for Poole−Frenkel effect in this layer were determined. Processes taking place in buried oxide during measurement of current–voltage characteristics and annealing were considered. Conditions of thermal field treatment of buried oxide for radiation exposure imitation using injection were determined. Dependence of accumulated positive charge value in buried silicon oxide as a result of injection on Poole−Frenkel current value was estimated. The opportunity to use Poole−Frenkel effect for buried oxide defectiveness evaluation during manufacturing of microcircuits with enhanced dose radiation hardness is shown.

ABSTRACTHigh quality Silicon-On-Insulator, with a dislocation density lower than 105cm−2, has been formed by high temperature annealing of high-dose oxygen implanted silicon. In the as-implanted state, oxygen was found to form precipitates in the top silicon film. In the upper region these precipitates were found to order into a superlattice of simple cubic symmetry. Near the interface with the buried oxide film the precipitates are larger and no ordering occurs in that region. Contrary to implants without precipitate ordering where dislocations are observed across the entire layer thickness of the top silicon film, dislocations are now only found near the buried oxide. The precipitate ordering appears to prevent the dislocations to climb to the surface. High temperature annealing results in precipitate growth in this region whereas they dissolve elsewhere. These growing precipitates pin the dislocations and elimination of precipitates and dislocations occurs simultaneously, resulting in good quality SOI material.
