Several methods have been investigated for gettering impurities during CMOS processing, in order to achieve high-quality oxides on thick SOI. The use of buried implants, buried polysilicon, surface implants, and isolation trenches was found to significantly improve the oxide quality in each case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
