โฆ Synopsis
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures were fabricated by bonding using a new variant of Smart-Cut technology. Asbonded SOI structures are annealed at high temperature (11008C) for removal of hydrogen, radiation defects and stresses at the bonding interface. The transformation of structural parameters in as-bonded and annealed SOI structures was investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction. The large strain observed for as-bonded SOI structures is relaxed during annealing at high temperature and final SOI wafer has strain-free top silicon layer due to defect annealing and viscous flow of SiO 2 . FWHM value for SOI film is higher than that for typical silicon single crystal and is caused by mosaic-like structure only.
