Abstract
In this work, the 28 nm FD-SOI technology from ST Microelectronics was run for the first time on high-resistivity wafer samples. The gain in RF performance through the use of high-resistivity bulk is characterized in terms of losses, effective resistivity (ρeff) and generated harmonics through on-wafer measurements of coplanar waveguides (CPW). Beyond the use of a high-resistivity bulk, special care was taken to ensure a state of high-resistivity at the silicon/oxide interface. This was achieved through the PN junction interface passivation solution, implemented locally on the wafer at the foundry level, below passive RF devices. A study was performed on the dose and energy parameters of these implants to achieve optimal RF performance and giving insight into the PN design.
