Soi Formation by a Line-Source Electron Beam and Electrical Characteristics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Crystal quality of SOI and electrical characteristics of p-MOSFETs fabricated in SOI films have been studied. The SOI recrystallization is done by a cw-operated, high-power, line-source and line-shaped electron beam annealing. Single crystal SOI strips, 15~20¼mxa few mm in sized, are formed with a good uniformity on a 4 inch diameter wafer by adopting the step and repeat system in the annealing apparatus. p-MOSFETs with ~90% field effect mobility of the bulk values are fabricated in the SOI films. The electrical characteristics of p-MOSFETs, fabricated in the SOI regions beyond the lateral seeding distance (~15¼m), are found to be independent of the low angle grain boundary density in the MOSFET channel, when the low angle grain boundaries extended toward the channel width direction.
