Ion-Beam Enhanced Stress-Relaxation of SiGe on SiO2
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
The Ge condensation by oxidation of SiGe/Si-on-insulator (SOI) structures enabled highly stress relaxed SGOI. However, the relaxation rate obtained in the SiGe layers on insulator (SGOI) abruptly decreased with decreasing SiGe thickness below 50 nm. In order to enhance the relaxation rate in ultra-thin SGOI, the technique combined with H+ irradiation with medium dose (5×1015 cm-2) and post-annealing (1200°C) has been developed. It was demonstrated that highly relaxed (70 %) ultra-thin SGOI with low defect density (<106 cm-2) has been realized by this technique.
