مهندسی کشش ساختارهای نازک سیلیکونی فوق العاده نازک با استفاده از کاشت و کریستالی شدن یون های اکسید

We report a novel way of introducing strain in Ultra-Thin Body and Buried-Oxide (UTBB) SOI structures by Ge+ implant into the underlying Si substrate and the formation of localized SiGe regions underneath the buried oxide (BOX) by Crystallization. The localized SiGe regions result in local deformation of the ultra-thin Si. Compressive strain of up to −0.55% and −1.2% were detected by Nano-Beam Diffraction (NBD) at the center and the edge, respectively, of a 50 nm wide ultra-thin Si region located between two local SiGe regions. The under-the-BOX SiGe regions may be useful for strain engineering of ultra-thin body transistors formed on UTBB-SOI substrates.
