SIMOX埋氧层的总剂量辐射硬度对埋氧层中注氮剂量的敏感性

为了提高SIMOX(separation-by-implanted-oxygen)SOI(silicon-on-insulator)结构中埋氧层(BOX)的总剂量辐射硬度,埋氧层中分别注入了2×1015和3×1015cm-2剂量的氮.实验结果表明,在使用Co-60源对埋氧层进行较低总剂量的辐照时,埋氧层的总剂量辐射硬度对注氮剂量是非常敏感的.尽管埋氧层中注氮剂量的差别很小,但经5×104 rad(Si)剂量的辐照后,注入2×1015cm-2剂量氮的埋氧层表现出了比未注氮埋氧层高得多的辐射硬度,而注入3×1015cm-2剂量氮的埋氧层的辐射硬度却比未注氮埋氧层的辐射硬度还低.然而,随辐照剂量的增加(从5×104到5×105rad(Si)),这种埋氧层的总剂量辐射硬度对注氮剂量的敏感性降低了.采用去掉SOI顶硅层的MOS高频C-V技术来表征埋氧层的总剂量辐射硬度.另外,观察到了MSOS(metal-silicon-BOX-silicon)结构的异常高频C-V曲线,并对其进行了解释.

Sensitivity of Total-Dose Radiation Hardness of SIMOX Buried Oxides to Doses of Nitrogen Implantation into Buried Oxides

In order to improve the total-dose radiation hardness of the buried oxides(BOX) in the structure of separa tion-by-implanted-oxygen(SIMOX) silicon-on-insulator(SOI), nitrogen ions are implanted into the buried oxides with two different doses,2 × 1015 and 3 × 1015 cm-2 , respectively. The experimental results show that the radiation hardness of the buried oxides is very sensitive to the doses of nitrogen implantation for a lower dose of irradiation with a Co-60 source. Despite the small difference between the doses of nitrogen implantation, the nitrogen-implanted 2 × 1015 cm-2 BOX has a much higher hardness than the control sample (i. e. the buried oxide without receiving nitrogen implantation) for a total-dose irradiation of 5 × 104rad(Si), whereas the nitrogen-implanted 3 × 1015 cm-2 BOX has a lower hardness than the control sample. However,this sensitivity of radiation hardness to the doses of nitrogen implantation reduces with the increasing total-dose of irradiation (from 5 × 104 to 5 × 105 rad (Si)). The radiation hardness of BOX is characterized by MOS high-frequency (HF) capacitance-voltage (C-V) technique after the top silicon layers are removed. In addition, the abnormal HF C-V curve of the metal-silicon-BOX-silicon(MSOS) structure is observed and explained.
