Abstract

Seeding from bulk silicon (lateral epitaxy) has been used in Ar+ laser recrystallization to achieve subboundary free silicon on insulator areas. On these areas C.MOS devices have been performed using almost entirely the standard processing steps of a bulk micronic C-MOS technology. n -MOS transistors with channel length as small as 0.3 um have shown very small leakage currents. This is attributed especially to the lack of subboundaries. A 40 % increase in the dynamic performances in comparison with equivalent size C-MOS bulk devices has been obtained (93 ps of delay time per stage for a 101 stages ring oscillator with 0.8 μm of channel length). This is the best result presented so far on recrystallized SOI. No special requirements are needed in the lay out of the circuit with the chosen seed structure. Furthermore an industrial processing rate for the laser recrystallization processing has been achieved using an elliptical laser beam, a high scan velocity (30 cm/s) and a 100 μm line to line scan step (a 4' wafer in 4 minutes).
