METHOD FOR OXIDATION OF TOP SILICON LAYER IN BONDED WAFER

原文（中国語）

The present invention provides a method for sacrificed oxidation of a top silicon layer in a bonded wafer, including: providing the bonded wafer, which includes a substrate layer, the top silicon layer and an insulating buried oxide layer; and performing first and second furnace oxidation processes on the top silicon layer. A first oxide layer is formed on the surface of the top silicon layer, and a second oxide layer is formed on the surface of the top silicon layer as a result of the second furnace oxidation process. The first and second oxide layers have complementary thickness profiles on a top surface of the top silicon layer, and the first and second furnace oxidation processes are followed by respective wet etching processes for removing the first and second oxide layers. With the present invention, the top silicon layer can be thinned, and its thickness uniformity can be improved.
