Abstract
An optimum dose range (ODR) is necessary to synthesize the perfect buried oxide (BOX) layer beneath the surface of silicon wafers through low-dose oxygen implantation and subsequent high-temperature annealing (HTA). A high temperature oxidation (ITOX) process has been developed which can improve the integrity of the BOX grown within the ODR. The density of the Si pipes can be reduced during ITOX by a factor of 35. The annihilation of Si pipes during high temperature oxidation suggests that the perfect BOX can be synthesized during HTA and ITOX thermal treatment even in the wafers implanted to doses under the lower limit of ODR. The SIMOX wafers used were prepared by oxygen implantation to various doses at 180 keV into Si wafers.
