본 논문은 Si기판 직접접합기술과 전기화학적 식각정지를 이용하여 마이크로 시스템용 매몰 공동을 갖는 SOI 구조물의 일괄제조에 대한 새로운 공정기술에 관한 것이다. 저비용의 전기화학적 식각정지법으로 SOI의 정확한 두께를 제어하였다. 핸들링 기판 위에서 Si 이방성 습식식각으로 공동을 제조하였다. 산화막을 갖는 두 장의 Si기판을 직접접합한 후, 고온 열처리($1000^{\circ}C$, 60분)를 시행하고 전기화학적 식각정지로 매몰 공동을 갖는 SDB SOI 구조를 박막화하였다. 제조된 SDB SOI 구조물 표면의 거칠기는 래핑과 폴리싱에 의한 기계적인 방법보다도 우수했다. 매몰 공동을 갖는 SDB SOI 구조는 새로운 마이크로 센서와 마이크로 엑츄에이터에 대단히 효과적이며 다양한 응용이 가능한 기판으로 사용될 것이다.

This paper describes on the fabrication of a SOI substrate by SDB technology and electrochemical etch-stop. The surface of the thinned SDB SOI substrate is more uniform than that of grinding or polishing by mechanical method, and this process was found to be very accurate method for SOI thickness control. During electrochemical etch-stop, leakage current versus voltage curves were measured for analysis of the open current potential (OCP) point, the passivation potential (PP) point and anodic passivation potential. The surface roughness and the controlled thickness selectivity of the fabricated a SDB SOI substrate were evaluated by using AFM and SEM, respectively.

The non-selective method by polishing after grinding was used widely to thinning of SDB SOI structures. This method was very difficult to thickness control of thin film, and it was dependent on equipments. However electrochemical etch-stop, one of the selective methods, was able to accurately thickness control and etch equipment was very simple. Therefore, this paper described with the effect of leakage current and electrodes on electrochemical etch-stop. Consequentially, PP(passivation potential) was changed according to the kinds of contact and contact sizes, but OCP(open current potential) was not change with range of -1.5~-1.3V

This paper described on the fabrication of SOI(Si-on-insulator) structures with buried cavities by SDB technology and eletrochemical etch-stop. The cavity was fabricated the upper handling wafer by Si anisotropic etch technique. SDB process was performed to seal the fabricated cavity under vacuum condition at -760mmHg. In the SDB process, captured air and moisture inside of the cavities were removed by making channels towards outside. After annaling(100$0^{\circ}C$, 60 min.), the SDB SOI structure was thinned by electrochemical etch-stop. Finally, it was fabricated the SDB SOI structure with buried cavities as well as an accurate control and a good flatness.

본 논문에서는 THAH/IPA/pyrazine 용액에서의 전기화학적 식각정지특성을 기술한다. THAH/IPA/pyrazine 용액에서의 n-형과 p-형의 Si에 대한 I-V 곡선이 얻어졌다. p-형 Si에 대한 OCP(개방회로전압)과 PP(보호막생성 전압)은 각각 -1.2 V와 0.1 V이고, n-형에 대해서는 -1.3 V와 -0.2 V로 각각 나타났다. p-형과 n-형 Si 모두 PP점보다 양의 전압에서 식각율이 급속히 감소하였다. 또한 THAH/IPA/pyrazine 용액에서의 식각정지특성을 관찰하였다. pn 접합부에서의 정확한 식각정지에 의해서 epi. 층의 두께에 상응하는 Si 다이어프램을 제작할 수 있었다. 최적 이방성 식각조건인 TMAH 25 wt.%/IPA 17 vol.%/pyrazine 0.1g/100ml에서 식각률이 가장 높기 때문에 식각소요시간이 크게 감소하였다.

This paper describes on thinning SDB SOI substrates by SDB technology and Electro-chemical etch-stop. The surface of the fabricated SDB SOI substrates is more uniform than that grinding or polishing by mechanical method, and this process is possible to accurate SOI thickness control. During Electrochemical etch-stop, leakage current versus voltage curves were measured for analysis of the open current potential (OCP) point and the passivation potential (PP) poin and determinated to anodic passivation potential. The surface roughness and selectively controlled thickness of the fabricated SOI substrates were analyzed by using AFM and SEM, respectively.

This paper described on the fabrication of microstructures by DRIE(Deep Reactive Ion Etching). SOI(Si-on-insulator) electric devices with buried cavities are fabricated by SDB technology and electrochemical etch-stop. The cavity was fabricated the upper handling wafer by Si anisotropic etch technique. SDB process was performed to seal the fabricated cavity under vacuum condition at -750 mm Hg. In the SDB process, captured air and moisture inside of the cavities were removed by making channels towards outside. After annealing(1000$^{\circ}C$, 60 min.), the SDB SOI structure was thinned by electrochemical etch-stop. Finally, it was fabricated microstructures by DRIE as well as a accurate thickness control and a good flatness.
