Abstract

We have studied the formation of buried oxide in MeV oxygen implanted Si. A continuous oxide layer is formed in the samples implanted with 2x1018/cm2 oxygen and annealed at 1300° C. The microstructures are studied by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and high resolution electron microscopy. Chemical information was obtained by electron energy loss spectroscopy. The effects of implantation temperature are studied. Implantation at a low substrate temperature leads to a well-defined buried SiO2 layer, inhibits the formation of oxide precipitates in the silicon, and reduces silicon inclusions in the SiO2.
