Abstract

Micro Raman spectroscopy (RS) is used to study the crystalline quality and the stresses in the thin superficial silicon layer of Silicon-On-Insulator (SO) materials. Results are presented for SIMOX (Separation by IMplanted OXygen) and ZMR (Zone Melt Recrystallized) substrates. Both as implanted and annealed SIMOX structures are investigated. The results from the as implanted structures are correlated with spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and cross-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses on the same material. Residual stress in ZMR substrates is studied in low- and high temperature gradient regions.
