Effects of TCA Incorporation During Annealing Process on the Properties of Oxygen Ion Implanted Silicon Wafers

The effects of TCA incorporation during annealing process on the SIMOX quality is studied. Silicon wafers are implanted with heavy dose of oxygen ions, and are annealed at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. The annealing process is splitted into three conditions due to some differences of low temperature preliminary annealing step which are without pre-annealing step. The specimens are analyzed by several methods, such as AES, XTEM, and TRXFA. TCA incorporation during pre-annealing step is effective in dislocation density reduction and heavy metal content reduction.
