Abstract
In SIMOX (separation by implantation of oxygen) material processing, understanding the formation of buried-oxide (BOX) and the effect of processing parameters is critical to achieving high quality. It has been observed that preamorphization of the as-implanted region prior to annealing extends the lower dose limit at which a continuous BOX forms during annealing. Microstructural studies of the BOX for untreated and post-amorphized implant low-dose SIMOX show two mechanisms behind this observation: elimination of multiply faulted defects as a site for the preferred nucleation and growth of oxides which form an upper layer of precipitates in the untreated material; and rapid O diffusion toward a central region of BOX formation.
