Abstract:
A new thin-SOI process is proposed. This process is classified as a single etch-stop method. It uses an etch-stopped layer as an active layer by decreasing boron concentration in the etch-stopped layer so that an epitaxial layer is not needed. The boron concentration in the 500-nm-thick p + layer after etch-stopping is decreased from 7×10 19 cm -3 to less than 2×10 17 cm -3 by hydrogen annealing at 1100°C for 3 h. Additionally, surface roughness is decreased from 2.3 nm to about 0.2 nm. This value is almost equivalent to a polished wafer roughness. This process is simple and does not require complicated equipment, thus allowing for the manufacture of a low-cost SOIs.
