摘要
Silicon-on-Insulator (SOT) wafers produced by the Zone-Melting-Recrystallization (ZMR) method were evaluated to determine the level of built-in strain, Micromechanical strain measurement structures were produced by surface micromachining the thin film silicon epitaxial layer, A variety of test structures and a new tensile strain measurement device were used to determine the level of strain in the material, Results indicated that the maximum strain in the ZMR IR material is less than 2 x 10(-4) and that there is a significant orientation dependence.
