Abstract

Positive charge was generated in the buried oxide (BOX) layer of silicon implanted by oxygen (SIMOX) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures by Fowler-Nordheim electron injection under high electric field. Radio-frequency plasma was employed to anneal out the positive charge. Experiments showed that the positive charge is thermally stable at annealing temperatures of up to 400 °C.
