Investigation of germanium implanted with hydrogen for layer transfer applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The technology for thin Ge layer transfer by hydrogen ion-cut process is characterised in this work. Experiments were carried out to determine suitable hydrogen ion implantation doses in germanium for the low temperature ion cut process by examining the formation of blisters on implanted samples. Raman and Spreading Resistance Profiling (SRP) have been used to analyse defects in germanium caused by hydrogen implants. Bevelling has been used to facilitate probing beyond the laser penetration depth. Results of Raman mapping along the projection area reveal that after post implant annealing at 400 o C, some crystal damage remains, while at 600 o C, the crystal damage has been repaired. SRP shows that some amount of hydrogen acceptor states (~1 10 16 acceptors/cm 2 ) remain after 600 o C. These are thought to be vacancy-related point defect clusters.

This paper introduces a novel silicon-on-insulator (SOI) metal–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) with an implanted N layer (INL-SOI MESFET) to improve the DC and radio frequency characteristics. The DC and radio frequency characteristics of the proposed structure are analyzed by the 2-D ATLAS simulator and compared with a conventional SOI MESFET (C-SOI MESFET). The simulated result...

متن کاملLow-Temperature Fabrication of Germanium-on-Insulator Using Remote Plasma Activation Bonding and Hydrogen Exfoliation
Low-temperature germanium to silicon wafer bonding was demonstrated by in situ radical activation and bonding in vacuum. After low temperature direct bonding of Ge to Si followed by annealing at 200 and 300 C, advanced imaging techniques were used to characterize the bonded interface. The feasibility of transferring hydrogen-implanted germanium to silicon with a reduced thermal budget is also d...

Four novel receptors were designed and synthesized for colorimetric detection of F− ions. The introduction of four electron withdrawing groups into the backbone of the receptors makes the two phenolic groups efficient hydrogen bonding sites. The binding properties of receptors with anions were examined for the first time by UV–Vis, 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The addition of F− resu...
