Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for creating an extremely thin semiconductor-on-insulator (ETSOI) layer having a uniform thickness includes: measuring a thickness of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) layer at a plurality of locations; determining a removal thickness at each of the plurality of locations; and implanting ions at the plurality of locations. The implanting is dynamically based on the removal thickness at each of the plurality of locations. The method further includes oxidizing the SOI layer to form an oxide layer, and removing the oxide layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A system, comprising: a measuring device configured to measure thickness of an SOI layer at a plurality of locations; a processor configured to determine a removal thickness at each of the a plurality of locations; an ion implant device configured to implant a species into the SOI layer at each of the plurality of locations, wherein at least one of implantation dose and implantation energy are adjusted based on the removal thickness at each of the plurality…
