This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of 3C-SiCOI sotctures by SDB and etch-back technology for high-temperature MEMS applications. In this work, insulator layers were formed on a heteroepitaxial 3C-SiC film grown on a Si(001) wafer by thermal wet oxidation and PECVD process, successively. The pre-bonding of two polished PECVD oxide layers made the surface activation in HF and bonded under applied pressure. The wafer bonding characteristics were evaluated by the effect of HF concentration used in the surface treatment on the roughness of the oxide and pre-bonding strength. Hydrophilic character of the oxidized 3C-SiC film surface was investigated by ATR-FTIR. The strength of the bond was measured by tensile strengthmeter. The bonded interface was also analyzed by SEM. The properties of fabricated 3C-SiCOI structures using etch-back technology in TMAH solution were analyzed by XRD and SEM. These results indicate that the 3C-SiCOI structure will offers significant advantages in the high-temperature MEMS applications.

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 -760 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.

실리콘 웨이퍼 직접 접합을 성공하기 위해서는 양호한 접합면을 구성하여야 하며, 이를 위해 접합면에서 발생하는 주요 결함 중 하나인 기포형 접합 결함을 억제하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 접합면에서 발생하는 기포형 결함의 상온 접합 및 열처리 과정에서의 거동을 관찰하여 내부의 압력이 증가함을 직접 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 대기압 하의 열처리에서 결함이 발생하지 않는 $SiO_2$-$SiO_2$ 접합 웨이퍼가 진공에서의 열처리에서 결함이 발생하는 현상을 통해 기포형 결함의 내부 압력과 성장과의 관계를 실험을 통하여 증명할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 SDB(Silicon Direct Bonding) 기술을 적용하여 빠른 스위칭 속도 및 낮은 도통 전압을 갖는 1200v 10A n-ch IGBT를 제작하였다. 기존의 epi wafer를 이용한 IGBT 제작시 스위칭 속도 개선을 위한 전자조사 방법을 사용하지 않고 buffer의 농도를 증가시켜 아노드 영역의 정공 주입 효율을 제어하여 90ns의 스위칭 속도를 가지며, 2.0V의 도통전압을 갖는 IGBT를 구현하였으며, SDB IGBT 제작시 bonding 계면의 문제 및 표면의 particle 및 결함이 소자의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였으며, 이를 실험 결과와 비교 평가하였다.

본 논문은 SOI트랜스듀서 및 회로를 위해, Si 직접접합과 M-C국부연마법에 의한 박막SOI구조의 형성 공정을 기술한다. 또한, 이러한 박막SOI의 전기적 및 압저항효과 특성들을 SOI MOSFET와 cantilever빔으로 각각 조사했으며, bulk Si에 상당한다는 것이 확인되었다. 한편, SOI구조를 이용한 두 종류의 압력트랜스듀서를 제작 및 평가했다. SOI구조의 절연층을 압저항의 유전체분리층으로 이용한 압력트랜스듀서의 경우, $-20^{\circ}C$에서 $350^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에 있어서 감도 및 offset전압의 변화는 자각 -0.2% 및 +0.15%이하였다. 한편, 절연층을 etch-stop막으로 이용한 압력트랜스듀서에 있어서의 감도변화를 ${\pm}2.3%$의 표준편차 이내로 제어할 수 있다. 이러한 결과들로부터 개발된 SDB공정으로 제작된 SOI구조는 집적화마이크로트랜스듀서 및 회로개발에 많은 장점을 제공할 것이다.

Abstract-Si direct bonding(SDB) technology is very attractive for both Si-on-insulator(SOI) electric devices and MEMS applications because of its stress free structure and stability. This paper presents on pre-bonding according to HF pre-treatment conditions in Si wafer direct bonding. The characteristics of bonded sample were measured under different bonding conditions of HF concentration, and applied pressure. The bonding strength was evaluated by tensile strength method. The bonded interface and the void were analyzed by using SEM and IR camera, respectively. Components existed in the interlayer were analysed by using FT-lR. The bond strength depends on the HF pre-treatment condition before pre-bonding (Min : 2.4kgf/cm$^2$∼Max : 14.9kgf/cm$^2$).

This paper describes the fabrication and basic characteristics of a Si Hall device fabricated on a SOI(Si-on-insulator) structure. In which SOI structure was formed by SOB(Si-wafer direct bonding) technology and the insulator of the SOI structure was used as the dielectrical isolation layer of a Hall device. The Hall voltage and sensitivity of the implemented SDB SOI Hall devices showed good linearity with respectivity to the applied magnetic flux density and supple iud current. The product sensitivity of the SDB SOI Hall device was average 670 V/A$.$T and its value has been increased up to 3 times compared to that of bulk Si with buried layer of 10$\mu\textrm{m}$. Moreover, this device can be used at high-temperature, high-radiation and in corrosive environments.

In this paper, We fabricated a high temperature pressure sensor using SBD(silicon- direct-bonding) wafer of $Si/SiO_2$/Si-sub structure. This sensor was very sensitive because the piezoresistor is fabricated by single crystal silicon of the first layer of SDB wafer. Also, it was possible to operate the sensor at high temperature over $120^{\circ}C$ which is the temperature limitation of general silicon sensor because the piezoresistor was dielectric isolation from silicon substrate using silicon dioxide of the second layer. The sensitivity of this sensor is very high as the measured result of D2200 shows $183.6\;{\mu}V/V{\cdot}kPa$. Also, the output characteristic of linearity was very good. This sensor was available at high temperature as $300^{\circ}C$.
