Gf. Cerofolini et al., SILICON ON THIN INSULATOR - PREDICTION OF THE OXYGEN FLUENCE REQUIREDFOR THE FORMATION OF A CONTINUOUS BURIED OXIDE, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 22(2-3), 1994, pp. 172-180
A scheme is proposed to explain the influence domain in which a contin
uous buried SiO2 layer is formed by oxygen implantation and subsequent
high temperature annealing. This scheme correctly describes the minim
um nuence observed in single step implantation experiments and its tem
perature and energy dependence; moreover, it also explains the seeming
ly extravagant structure of this nuence domain (showing a narrow windo
w of allowed values at relatively low fluence recently reported by Nak
ashima and Izumi (Electron Lett., 26 (1990) 1647, J. Mater. Res., 8 (1
993) 523) and the reasons making it possible the low fluence process r
eported by Meda et al. (Nucl. Instrum. Methods B, 80/81 (1993) 813.
