In this paper, thermal stability of Ni-silicide formed on the SOI substrate with $B_{11}$ has been characterized. The sheet resistance of Ni-silicide on un-doped SOI and $B_{11}$ implanted bulk substrate was increased after the post-silicidation annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. However, in case of $B_{11}$ implanted SOI substrate, the sheet resistance showed stable characteristics after the post-silicidation annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The main reason of the excellent property of $B_{11}$ sample is believed to be the retardation of Ni diffusion by the boron and bottom oxide layer of SOI. Therefore, retardation of Ni diffusion is highly desirable lot high performance Ni silicide technology.

In this paper, the formation and thermal stability characteristics of Ni silicide using Ni-V alloy on Boron cluster ($B_{18}H_{22}$) implanted bulk and SOI substrate were examined in comparison with pure Ni for nano-scale CMOSFET. The Ni silicide using Ni-V alloy on $B_{18}H_{22}$ implanted SOI substrate after high temperature post-silicidation annealing showed the lower sheet resistance, no agglomeration interface image and lower surface roughness than that using pure Ni. The thermal stability of Ni silicide was improved by using Ni-V alloy on $B_{18}H_{22}$ implanted SOI substrate.

The interface-states between the top silicon layer and buried oxide layer of nano-SOI substrate were developed. Also, the effects of thermal treatment processes on the interface-state distributions were investigated for the first time by using pseudo-MOSFETs. We found that the interface-state distributions were strongly influenced by the thermal treatment processes. The interface-states were generated by the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. Increasing the RTA temperature over $800^{\circ}C$, the interface-state density considerably increased. Especially, a peak of interface-states distribution that contributes a hump phenomenon of subthreshold curve in the inversion mode operation of pseudo-MOSFETs was observed at the conduction band side of the energy gap, hut it was not observed in the accumulation mode operation. On the other hand, the increased interface-state density by the RTA process was effectively reduced by the relatively low temperature annealing process in a conventional thermal annealing (CTA) process.

In this study, Ni silicide on the SOI substrate doped B11 is proposed to improve thermal stability. The sheet resistance of Ni-silicide utilizing pure SOI substrate increased after the post-silicidation annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. However, using the proposed B11 implanted substrate, the sheet resistance showed stable characteristics after the post-silicidation annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

The electrical characteristics of strained-SOI wafer were evaluated by using pseudo-MOSFET. The electrical characteristics of sSOI pseudo-MOSFET were superior to conventional SOI device. Moreover, the electrical characteristics were enhanced by forming gas anneal due to reduction of back interface trap density between substrate and buried oxide.

In this study, we fabricated thermopile infrared sensor with floating membrane structure. Floating membrane was formed by SOI(Silicon On Insulator) structure. In SOI structure, silicon dioxide layer between top silicon layer and bottom silicon substrate was etched by HF solution, then membrane was floated over substrate. After membrane was floated, thermopile pattern was formed on membrane. By insertion of SOI technology, we could obtain thermal isolation structure easily and passivation process for sensor pattern protection was not required during fabrication process. Then, the amplifier circuit for thermopile sensor was fabricated by using $1.5{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The voltage gain of fabricated amplifier was about two hundred.

The electrical characteristic of SiGe-on-SOI (SGOI) wafer with different Ge concentration were evaluated by pseudo-MOSFET. Epitaxial SiGe layers was grown directly on top of SOI with Ge concentrations of 16.2, 29.7, 34.3 and 56.5 at.%. As Ge concentration increased, leakage current increased and threshold voltage shifted from 3 V to 7 V in nMOSFET, from -7 V to -6 V in pMOSFET. The interface states between buried oxide and top of Si was significantly increased by the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, and so the electrical characteristic of SGOI wafer degraded. On the other hand, additional post RTA　annealing (PRA) showed that it was effective in decreasing the interface states generated by RTA processes and the electrical characteristic of SGOI wafer enhanced higher than initial state.

We fabricated Si nano-wire MOSFET by using the conventional photolithography with a $1.5{\mu}m$ resolution. Si nano-wire was fabricated by using reactive ion etching (RIE), anisotropic wet etching and thermal oxidation on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, and its width is 30 nm. Logarithmic circuit consisting of a NMOSFET and Si nano-wire MOSFET has been constructed for application to high-sensitivity image sensor. Its sensitivity was 1.12 mV/lux. The output voltage swing was 1.386 V.
