In this paper a continuous thin BOX obtained by oxygen implantation in
to silicon at 200 keV is experimentally studied; the aim of this work
is the correlation of BOX structural imperfections (inclusions and pin
holes) as seen by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with the elec
trical characteristics measured by capacitors with scaled areas. A met
hod for obtaining information on the distribution of the BOX silicon i
nclusions from the breakdown voltage is proposed. The heterogeneity of
these inclusions is found to affect the current-voltage characteristi
cs.
