Abstract

Unibond is the latest addition to the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology which combines the best of SIMOX and BESOI. The process involves four major steps: hydrogen implantation into a thermally grown SiO2 capped Si wafer; cleaning and bonding with a second Si wafer, two-step annealing at 400 to 600 °C to split at the boundary defined by the implant and at 1100 °C to strengthen the bond interface; and fine polishing to remove the microroughness. Electron spin resonance (ESR) was used to study the physical nature of the defect structures for the charge trapping properties of the Unibond films. ESR provides structural information and allows testing of minimally processed structures making it ideal for studying the charge trapping in SiO2 films.
