Strained Silicon-On-Insulator – Fabrication and Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
SSOI substrates were successfully fabricated using He ion implantation and annealing to relax thin (< 500nm) SiGe buffer layers, bonding and layer transfer processes to realize strained-Si layers onto oxide layers. The reduced thickness of the SiGe buffer possess numerous advantages such as reduced process costs for epitaxy and for reclaim of the handle wafer if the layer splitting is initiated in the SiGe/Si interface. The electron mobilities in the fabricated SSOI layers were measured using transistors with different gate lengths. An electron mobility of ~530 cm /Vs was extracted, being much higher than in non-strained SOI substrates. Furthermore, an 80% drive current (IDSAT) improvement has been measured for long channel devices.

متن کاملSiGe-On-Insulator (SGOI) Technology and MOSFET Fabrication
In this work, we have developed two different fabrication processes for relaxed Si1xGex-on-insulator (SGOI) substrates: (1) SGOI fabrication by etch-back approach, and (2) by “smart-cut” approach utilizing hydrogen implantation. Etch-back approach produces SGOI substrate with less defects in SiGe film, but the SiGe film uniformity is inferior. “Smart-cut” approach has better control on the SiGe...

Interference-enhanced Raman scattering was utilized to characterize strain in ultra-thin strained silicon-germanium (SiGe) and silicon layers on insulator. Strained SiGe and silicon films with thickness ranging from 10 to 30 nm on insulating borophosphorosilicate glass (BPSG) were formed by layer transfer techniques and/or strain manipulation via lateral expansion of strained films. The optical...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Narrow-Band Bragg-Reflection Filters in Silicon-on-Insulator Ridge Waveguides
We describe the design, fabrication and measurement of an integrated-optical Bragg grating filter, operating at a freespace wavelength of 1543 nm, based upon a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) ridge waveguide. The measured spectral response for a 4-mm long grating has a bandwidth of 15 GHz (0.12 nm), and shows good agreement with theoretical predictions.
متن کاملStrained-SiÕSiGe-on-insulator inversion layers: The role of strained-Si layer thickness on electron mobility
We show by Monte Carlo simulation that electron mobility is greater when strained-silicon inversion layers are grown on SiGe-on-insulator substrates than when unstrained-silicon-on-insulator devices are employed ~as experimentally observed!. However, the electron mobility in strained-Si/SiGe-on-insulator inversion layers is strongly dependent on the strained-silicon layer thickness, TSi , due t...
