Abstract

Structural development and defect formation during oxygen implantation of silicon-on-insulator material was studied by conventional and high resolution electron microscopy. The effects of implantation parameters: wafer temperature, dose, and current density were investigated. Wafer temperture had the largest effect on the type and character of the defects. In the top silicon layer of samples implanted at 350°C, microtwins and short stacking faults were present. From 450-550°C, stacking faults grew in length but microtwinning was reduced. From 550-700°C, a new type of defect, a multiply faulted defect (MFD), was observed and trails of oxygen bubbles formed at the surface. In the substrate beneath the buried oxide layer, stacking faults and {113} defects were present at all temperatures. The defect density in an annealed material is significantly reduced for samples implanted at ≥ 600°C. Correlation between the defect structure in as-implanted and annealed material will be discussed.
