摘要： Semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrates including a buried oxide (BOX) layer having a thickness of less than 300 Å are provided. The (SOI) substrates having the thin BOX layer are provided using a method including a step in which oxygen ions are implanted at high substrate temperatures (greater than 600° C.), and at a low implant energy (less than 40 keV). An anneal step in an oxidizing atmosphere follows the implant step and is performed at a temperature less than 1250° C. The anneal step in oxygen containing atmosphere converts the region containing implanted oxygen atoms formed by the implant step into a BOX having a thickness of less than 300 Å. In some instances, the top semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate has a thickness of less than 300 Å.

摘要： A method of forming a substantially relaxed, high-quality SiGe-on-insulator substrate material using SIMOX and Ge interdiffusion is provided. The method includes first implanting ions into a Si-containing substrate to form an implanted-ion rich region in the Si-containing substrate. The implanted-ion rich region has a sufficient ion concentration such that during a subsequent anneal at high temperatures a barrier layer that is resistant to Ge diffusion is formed. Next, a Ge-containing layer is formed on a surface of the Si-containing substrate, and thereafter a heating step is performed at a temperature which permits formation of the barrier layer and interdiffusion of Ge thereby forming a substantially relaxed, single crystal SiGe layer atop the barrier layer.

摘要： A method of forming a strained semiconductor-on-insulator (SSOI) substrate that does not include wafer bonding is provided. In this disclosure a relaxed and doped silicon layer is formed on an upper surface of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. In one embodiment, the dopant within the relaxed and doped silicon layer has an atomic size that is smaller than the atomic size of silicon and, as such, the in-plane lattice parameter of the relaxed and doped silicon layer is smaller than the in-plane lattice parameter of the underlying SOI layer. In another embodiment, the dopant within the relaxed and doped silicon layer has an atomic size that is larger than the atomic size of silicon and, as such, the in-plane lattice parameter of the relaxed and doped silicon layer is larger than the in-plane lattice parameter of the underlying SOI layer. After forming the relaxed and doped silicon layer on the SOI substrate, the dopant within the relaxed and doped silicon layer is removed from that layer converting the relaxed and doped silicon layer into a strained (compressively or tensilely) silicon layer that is formed on an upper surface of an SOI substrate.

摘要： A lost cost method for fabricating SOI substrates is provided. The method includes forming a stack of p-type doped amorphous Si-containing layers on a semiconductor region of a substrate by utilizing an evaporation deposition process. A solid phase recrystallization step is then performed to convert the amorphous Si-containing layers within the stack into a stack of p-type doped single crystalline Si-containing layers. After recrystallization, the single crystalline Si-containing layers are subjected to anodization and at least an oxidation step to form an SOI substrate. Solar cells and/or other semiconductor devices can be formed on the upper surface of the inventive SOI substrate.
