Abstract

We review recent results of our Graphite Strip Heater Si-on-Insulator (SOI) effort: (i) recrystallization of SOI films on 100 mm wafers, (ii) model of subboundary pattern formation in SOI films, (iii) low defect density SOI films by ultra slow scanning of the melt zone, (iv) low defect density SOI films by patterned openings in the cap oxide overlayer.
