Variable angle spectroellipsometry of silicon based multilayers

In this project, LPCVD silicon nitride (SiNx), LPCVD polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films, wafer bonded (WB) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and separation-by-implantation-of-oxygen (SIMOX) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates were non-destructively characterized by a horizontal variable an...

Description
Summary:In this project, LPCVD silicon nitride (SiNx), LPCVD polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films, wafer bonded (WB) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and separation-by-implantation-of-oxygen (SIMOX) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates were non-destructively characterized by a horizontal variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometer (H-VASE) with spectral range of 250nm-1700nm at 70°, 75° and 80° angles of incidence. These measurements were carried out as part of an effort to develop readily usable optical models for monitoring wafers in a university CMOS process facility.
