RESUMO

In this work we study new semiconductors heterostructures, based on SOI (Silicon-On- Insulator) structures obtained by "Smart-Cut" process, that were studied in the last years at Departamento de Engenharia de Sistemas Eletrônicos da Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo (EPUSP). This technique combines high-dose hydrogen ion implantation (I/I) and direct wafer bonding. To produce SOI structures some processes are essential: I/I process, cleaning and activation of the surfaces, and conventional thermal treatments at moderated temperatures. We also investigate different methods to obtain new heterostructures, basically combining SOI technologies and silicon carbide (SiC) growth processes, which will be called as SiCOI (Silicon Carbide-On-Insulator) heterostructures. The utilized methods to obtain the SiC are related, in each case, with the desired films characteristics, which at the same time are associated with the final application. We analyze three methods to obtain SiC material with specific different characteristics. The proposed methodology approaches the following tasks: Task 1: Fabrication of SOI structures by the conventional technology previously used by us, and the improvement of superficial characteristic of the final structure. Task 2: Fabrication of SiC/insulator/Si heterostructures from Si substrate previously covered with an insulator capping layer, where the SiC layer is deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The PECVD film is amorphous and therefore, a thermal annealing step is necessary for crystallization. Task 3: Fabrication of SiC/SiO2/Si heterostructures from SOI structure, where the SiC layer is synthesized through a high dose carbon implantation into the thin silicon overlayer of a SOI wafer. Task 4: Fabrication of SiC/SiO2/Si heterostructures from SOI structure, where the SiC layer is achieved by direct carbonization conversion of the silicon overlayer of a SOI wafer In this work we have obtained Smart Cut SOI structures with surface roughness similar to the previous reported. We also obtained SiC/insulator/Si heterostructures with good structural characteristics using PECVD technique. The investigated N2 thermal annealing appears to be suitable for the crystallization of all the amorphous films deposited by PECVD. We have shown the possibility of using carbon ion implantation and subsequent thermal annealing to form c-SiC for SiC/insulator/Si heterostructures.
