Abstract

The surface morphology of SOI has been studied. The surface is very wavy and contains protrusions. Crystal orientations for SOI without protrusions were close to (100), while those for SOI with protrusions were close to either (111) or (101). The angle of orientation rotation for SOI without protrusions was less than 5 degrees over a 600um long SOI stripe, while the angle of SOI with protrusions was about 30 degrees. Threshold voltages of pMOSFET with protrusions in the channel were generally larger than those without protrusions in the channel.
