Abstract

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) materials made by standard energy (150 to 200 keV) separation by implantation of oxygen (SIMOX) processes have shown great promise for meeting the needs of radiation-hard microelectronics. Since much smaller doses are required, low energy SIMOX (LES) reduces cost, improves radiation hardness, and increases the throughput of any ion implanter. The process can also produce high quality thin SIMOX structures that are of particular interest for fully depleted and submicron device structures. In this paper, we address the formation as well as the material and electrical characterization of LES wafers and compare them with standard SIMOX wafers.
