Abstract
A new approach is proposed for the material improvement of silicon-on-sapphire (SOS). This approach utilizes the phenomena that the defect elimination throughout the silicon layer depends on both the deep and shallow self-implantations of the double solid phase epitaxial growth (DSPEG) technique for SOS material improvement. The new aspects of this approach are that the deep implantation does not form an amorphous layer, and therefore the ion damage to the substrate is minimized eliminating Al autodoping of the silicon layer.
