Method of Producing a Silicon Membrane Using a Silicon Alloy Etch Stop Layer.

Abstract

A method of producing a silicon membrane has a step of forming an etch stop layer on an upper surface of a silicon substrate having lower and upper opposing surfaces, the etch stop layer comprising an alloy of silicon and at least one other Group IV element. The method of producing a silicon membrane has another step of forming a cap layer on the etch stop layer, the cap layer having lower and upper opposing surfaces with the lower surface contacting the etch stop layer.(Author)
