Ion implantation of boron at 2.5 MeV was used in order to place the boron peak and residual tail of the boron distribution deep enough, so that a region of the original silicon material with acceptably low boron concentration persists near the active-layer-SiO/sub 2/ interface. The objective was to determine whether improvements in final uniformity were possible using the MeV implants compared to the more conventional epi-layer technique. Results show that a final thickness of 0.3 mu m of single crystal silicon on insulator can be produced with thickness nonuniformity of 28 to 30 nm averaged over 9 points on a 2\"*2\" area. The final oxidation-stripping steps contributed to most of this nonuniformity. Additional difficulties arose as a result of the extensive oxidation stripping used in the terminal processing steps. Etch pit analysis of the final material revealed substantial oxidation induced stacking faults in the finished material ( approximately 300 cm/sup -2/, average length approximately 50 mu m).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344373,"journal":{"name":"1990 IEEE SOS/SOI Technology Conference.

When trench isolation is incorporated in such a process, fully dielectrically isolated devices can be fabricated. By appropriate application of the trench technology, no change in the electrical device parameters will be produced by such processing. It has been demonstrated that epitaxially thickened ZMR (zone-melting recrystallization) and SIMOX (separation by implantation of oxygen) substrates can support a wide range of devices such as those found in the BIMOS process. However, for device structures in which electrical parameters are sensitive to the diffusion of dopants in silicon it may be necessary to adjust the process to allow for small changes in diffusivity in SOI material. This has been demonstrated in the case of oxidation enhanced diffusion.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344373,"journal":{"name":"1990 IEEE SOS/SOI Technology Conference.

The RI 1750AB contains many special features enhancing its use in a real-time-control/radiation-tolerant system. These include trap and patch registers which allow changes in ROM memory in the field without having to replace the ROM chips. For most applications the CPU will operate through, in the true sense, without radiation upset. However, where extremely high transient levels may be encountered, the CPU supports both software and hardware circumvention. The CPU has an optional snapshot mode of operation which allows hardware-controlled, instead of software-controlled, program restart after radiation upset. To support circumvention, the CPU has several control lines that enable it to distinguish between a power turn-on and a radiation restart.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344373,"journal":{"name":"1990 IEEE SOS/SOI Technology Conference.

The properties of the superficial or surface silicon layer were characterized with reflection topography for the three SOI technologies, and these results were correlated with crystal quality measured by XDCRC. Reflection topography did not reveal surface imperfection, defects, or dislocations in SIMOX or BESOI, but XRT revealed the transmission of substrate strain or warpage into the surface silicon layer for all SOI samples.

The authors' earlier work demonstrated the superior static and time dependent breakdown properties of multiple implant SIMOX (separation by implantation of oxygen) buried oxide as compared to single implant buried oxide. The previous work used novel kinematic pressure contacts placed directly on the oxide. Experiments to further characterize the charge trapping behavior of SIMOX buried oxides using C-V and I-V measurements are reported.
