Silicon-on-Sapphire (11-02, R Plane )

Sizes and Specifications
Silicon on sapphire (SOS) is a hetero-epitaxial process for integrated circuit manufacturing that consists of a thin layer (typically thinner than 0.6 micrometres) of silicon grown on a sapphire (Al2O3) wafer. SOS is part of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) family of CMOS technologies. SOS is primarily used in aerospace and military applications because of its inherent resistance to radiation.

Silicon EPI Layer:
  • Silicon Orientation: (100)
  • Type, Dopant: Intrinsic type, undoped
  • Silicon Thickness: (0.5 um/0.6 um/1.0 um) +/- 10%
  • Resistivity: > 100 ohm.cm
  • Micro-particle density ( for particles > 2 um) < 2/cm^2
