摘要
Trivalent silicon P-b0 and P-b1 defects were identified at both the top Si(100)/buried-SiO2 and buried-SiO2/bottom-Si(100) interfaces in high-temperature (1320 degrees C) annealed Si/SiO2/Si structures. The paramagnetic defects are generated by annealing in a flow of pure nitrogen (N-2) or forming gas [N2H2; 95:5 (by volume)] at 550 degrees C. In addition, the forming-gas anneal also generated positive charge in the buried oxides; significant lateral nonuniformities in the buried oxide charge density were observed following this anneal. These macroscopic inhomogeneities may be linked to previous reports of homogeneity related problems involving the SIMOX buried oxide, such as early breakdown and etch pits, suggesting that these types of measurements may be useful as nondestructive screens of SIMOX wafer quality.
