Silicon full wafer bonding with atomic layer deposited titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide intermediate films

Silicon full wafer bonding with atomic layer deposited titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide intermediate films

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers made by direct wafer bonding are widely used as starting substrates for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication. Adding another layer next to the SiO₂ SOI, or replacing it with another material, will be a way to tailor the SOI wafers further. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be used to deposit pinhole-free nanometer-thin conformal and smooth inorganic films at low temperatures, making it of interest for many applications in MEMS. In this work, the direct wafer bonding of ALD TiO₂, and Al₂O₃ for reference, is investigated, eventually in order to fabricate SOI wafers with buried ALD oxides. Finding suitable process conditions for TiO₂ bonding was challenging: bonding could not be made for TiO₂ deposited directly on SiO₂ or Si, and annealing at 1100 °C gave non-continuous Ti-containing layers. Using a 2-nm Al₂O₃ under-layer and annealing at 700 °C gave void-free bonding with continuous TiO₂ and a bond strength of approximately 1600 mJ/m², enabling the fabrication of SOI wafers with buried TiO₂.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.
