Abstract

The effects of post implantation annealing on the properties of buried oxide silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates in the temperature range of 1150°C to 1300°C have been studied. Microstructural analyses showed that the crystallinity of the top silicon layer was improved at higher annealing temperature. Lower thermal donor generation at 450°C was observed in SOI annealed at higher temperature. The improvement in microstructure and lower thermal donor generation were correlated to the lower oxygen concentration in the top silicon film.
