However, for some applications the top silicon layer still needs crystalline quality improvements. At present the density of threading dislocations on typical SIMOX materials (1.8x10/sup 18/O/sup +/cm/sup -2/) is about 10/sup 5/cm/sup -2/ for single implantation and about 10/sup 4/cm/sup -2/ for multi-implantations. Due to the very small thickness of the top silicon layer a two step etching procedure using SECCO etching and bright field optical observations has been used to determine the dislocation density. A four step procedure which allows the transfer of the dislocation etch pits into the bulk was developed to increase the contrast between dislocation etch pits and the substrate. In this work, we describe an optimized enhanced chemical etching process. It allows etch pit observations using an optical microscope and automatic counting by the use of image processing software. This technique can be used for quality analysis and is \"operator free\".<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":308249,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE International SOI Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116838638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the oxidation process self interstitials are injected into the silicon overlayer and these point defects can lead to the growth of secondary defects, in particular oxidation induced stacking faults (OISF). The formation of these OISF is influenced by the presence of stacking fault tetrahedra (SFT) in the silicon overlayer. In this paper we investigate the formation of OISF using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a recently developed chemical defect etchant. We propose a model which describes the evolution of OISF from the existing SFT.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":308249,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE International SOI Conference","volume":"558 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114869808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SIMOX (Silicon separation by Implanted OXygen) and BESOI( Bond and Etch back Silicon On Insulator) can be used for device fabrication at this time, however the subject of this study will be CMOS device structures built on SIMOX only. Fabrication of modern MOSFET's requires formation of a silicide in both the poly gate and mono-silicon Source/Drain regions. In our case the contact silicide under investigation is a TiSi/sub 2/ layer followed by Al(Cu) metal interconnect lines. TiSi/sub 2/ has a relatively low contact resistance and reduces the series resistance of both source/drain as well as gate regions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":308249,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE International SOI Conference","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121626240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was demonstrated in some optimized SOS material fabrication conditions that a significant reduction in radiation induced leakage in SOS CMOS devices and circuits can be achieved at the price of somewhat reduced channel mobility and increased pre-radiation leakage levels. However, the understanding of reduction mechanisms in the radiation induced leakage is still lacking. In order to gain understanding of this phenomenon, the annealing behavior of the radiation induced leakage in SOS with new procurement specifications is investigated in this work. Based on the annealing results, a potential rad-hard method of low-temperature short-cycle annealing is proposed to cure radiation induced damage for further radiation hardening in space electronics applications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":308249,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE International SOI Conference","volume":"65 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120896256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
