Abstract

ELTRAN is a unique technique to produce the SOI wafers using a porous Si material in semiconductor process. In ELTRAN process, it is required to form the porous Si layer on entire wafer surface uniformly, stably and mass productively without contaminations. In this investigation, we have carried out the simulation of current density distribution to unify the porous layer thickness by finite element method. Canon designed and completed an automatic anodization apparatus. As a result, we could produce the 8 and 6 inches porous Si wafers and ELTRAN SOI wafers stably. And we also developed successfully 300mm ELTRAN SOI wafers with excellent SOI film thickness uniformity.
