In this article, the structural and electrical properties of state-of-the-art SOI silicon films and devices built in them are described and problems faced by this technology are evaluated.
Abstract
Various approaches to wafer bonding technology are reviewed. Bonding kinetics are discussed as well as different mechanical and chemical thinning techniques. The structural and electrical qualities of state‐of‐the‐art bonded SOI silicon films and devices built in them are detailed. Problems faced by this technology are evaluated.
