Strained Silicon-On-Insulator – Fabrication and Characterization
SSOI substrates were successfully fabricated using He ion implantation and annealing to relax thin (< 500nm) SiGe buffer layers, bonding and layer transfer processes to realize strained-Si layers onto oxide layers. The reduced thickness of the SiGe buffer possess numerous advantages such as reduced process costs for epitaxy and for reclaim of the handle wafer if the layer splitting is initiated...
متن کاملObservation of free surface-induced bending upon nanopatterning of ultrathin strained silicon layer.
We provide evidence of nanopatterning-induced bending of an ultrathin tensile strained silicon layer directly on oxide. This strained layer is achieved through the epitaxial growth of silicon on a Si(0.84)Ge(0.16) virtual substrate and subsequent transfer onto a SiO(2)-capped silicon substrate by combining hydrophilic wafer bonding and the ion-cut process. Using high resolution transmission ele...
متن کاملDirect wafer bonding for MEMS and microelectronics
Direct wafer bonding is a method for fabricating advanced substrates for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and integrated circuits (IC). The most typical example of such an advanced substrate is the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. SOI wafers offer many advantages over conventional silicon wafers. In IC technology, the switching speed of circuits fabricated on SOI is increased by 20-50% co...
متن کاملAmorphous Silicon Direct Bonding (a-SDB) with Improved Surface Roughness
Silicon direct bonding (SDB) is a bonding technique of two silicon wafers together with homogeneous or heterogeneous layers without the use of any intermediate adhesives. The SDB technique simplifies the process and cost by reducing mask level, and its necessity has increased in terms of its fields of applications such as power devices, SOI, sensors and actuators. Factors which can affect direc...
متن کاملRelaxed SiGe Layers with High Ge Content by Compliant Substrates
Relaxed, high Ge content SiGe layers have been realized using stress balance on a compliant borophosphorosilicate glass (BPSG). A 30-nm fully-strained Si0.7Ge0.3 layer was transferred onto a 1 μm BPSG film by wafer-bonding and Smart-cut processes, after which the continuous Si0.7Ge0.3 film was patterned into small islands to allow for lateral expansion. After the strain in Si0.7Ge0.3 islands wa...
