    摘要: A method of forming buried cavities in a wafer of monocrystalline semiconductor material with at least one cavity formed in a substrate of monocrystalline semiconductor material by timed TMAH etching silicon; covering the cavity with a material inhibiting epitaxial growth; and growing a monocrystalline epitaxial layer above the substrate and the cavities. Thereby, the cavity is completely surrounded by monocrystalline material. Starting from this wafer, it is possible to form a thin membrane. The original wafer must have a plurality of elongate cavities or channels, parallel and adjacent to one another. Trenches are then excavated in the epitaxial layer as far as the channels, and the dividers between the channels are removed by timed TMAH etching.

    摘要: For manufacturing an SOI substrate, the following steps are carried out: providing a wafer of semiconductor material; forming, inside the wafer, a plurality of passages forming a labyrinthine cavity and laterally delimiting a plurality of pillars of semiconductor material; and oxidizing the pillars of semiconductor material to form a buried insulating layer. For forming the labyrinthine cavity, a trench is first formed in a substrate; an epitaxial layer is grown, which closes the trench at the top; the wafer is annealed so as to deform the pillars and cause them to assume a minimum-energy handlebar-like shape, and a peripheral portion of the wafer is removed to reach the labyrinthine cavity, and side inlet openings are formed in the labyrinthine cavity. Oxidation is performed by feeding an oxidizing fluid through the side inlet openings.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing a SOI wafer with buried oxide regions without cusps that includes forming, in a wafer of monocrystalline semiconductor material, trenches extending between, and delimiting laterally, protruding regions; forming masking regions, implanted with nitrogen ions, the masking regions surrounding completely the tips of the protruding regions; and forming retarding regions on the bottom of the trenches, wherein nitrogen is implanted at a lower dose than the masking regions. A thermal oxidation is then carried out and starts at the bottom portion of the protruding regions and then proceeds downwards; thereby, a continuous region of buried oxide is formed and is overlaid by non-oxidized regions corresponding to the tips of the protruding regions and forming nucleus regions for a subsequent epitaxial growth. The masking regions and the retarding regions are formed through two successive implants, including an angle implant, wherein the protruding regions shield the bottom portions of the adjacent protruding regions, as well as the bottom of the trenches, and a vertical implant is made perpendicularly to the wafer.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an SOI (silicon on insulator) wafer includes the step of selective anisotropic etching to form, in the substrate, trenches which extend to a predetermined depth from a major surface of the substrate and between which pillar portions of the substrate are defined. The method further includes the step of selective isotropic etching to enlarge the trenches, starting at a predetermined distance from the major surface, thus reducing the thicknesses of the pillar portions of the substrate between adjacent trenches. Also, the method includes the steps of selective oxidation to convert the pillar portions of reduced thickness of the substrate into silicon dioxide and to fill the trenches with silicon dioxide, starting substantially from the predetermined distance, and epitaxial growth of a silicon layer on the major surface of the substrate. The method permits more freedom in the selection of the dimensional ratios between the trenches and the pillars and thus enables the necessary crystallographic quality of the epitaxial layer to be achieved, ensuring a continuous buried oxide layer.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing a suspended structure of semiconductor material envisages the steps of: providing a monolithic body of semiconductor material having a front face; forming a buried cavity within the monolithic body, extending at a distance from the front face and delimiting, with the front face, a surface region of the monolithic body, said surface region having a first thickness; carrying out a thickening thermal treatment such as to cause a migration of semiconductor material of the monolithic body towards the surface region and thus form a suspended structure above the buried cavity, the suspended structure having a second thickness greater than the first thickness. The thickening thermal treatment is an annealing treatment.
