Abstract
Beyond 65FD-SOI, 28FD-SOI, 22FD-SOI production granted technologies, continuous SmartCut TM development support advanced SOI requirements. To improve SOI layer thickness variability, a 2 nd generation chemical thinning process step is proposed. 11% and 25% improvements are demonstrated on 100% and on 75% of the wafer surface, respectively. This improved product is ready for pre-production.
