Evolution of Buried Oxide “Pipe” Defects Upon Implantation Through Particles in Simox Material
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
We have investigated the effect of the presence of oxide particles on the surface of silicon wafers during high energy, high dose implantation of oxygen into silicon. It was found that for single implants with doses of 1.5 × 1018/cm2 or 1.8 × 1018/cm2, such particles produce a non-continuous buried oxide layer in the as-implanted condition as well as after annealing. Etching results showed that no defects, which formed etchable paths through the buried oxide, were produced for particles with diameters 0.43 um or below for the lower dose and 0.53 um for the higher dose.
