Abstract

SOI(silicon oninsulator) was fabricated through the direct bonding of a hydrophilized single crystal Si wafer and a thermally oxidized SiO2 thin film to investigate the stacking faults in silicon at the Si/SiO2 in-terface. At first the oxidation kinetics of SiO2 thin film and the stacking fault distribution at the oxidation interface were investigated. The stacking faults could be divided into two groups by their size and the small-er ones were incorporated into the larger ones as the oxidation time and temperature increased. The den-sity of the smaller ones based critically lower eventually. The SOI wafers directly bonded at the room temperature were annealed at 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The stacking faults at the bonding and oxidation interface were examined and there were anomalies in the distributions of the stacking faults of the bonded region to arrange in ordered ring-like fashion.
