High frequency losses in transmission lines made on SIMOX, bulk silicon and depleted silicon/silicon structures formed by wafer bonding

• Wafer bonding and etch-back has been used to manufacture a silicon material intended as substrate for high frequency applications. The space charge region surrounding the bonded silicon/silicon interface depletes the silicon, thereby causing semi-insulating behaviour at high frequencies. The formed material was characterized using measurements on metal transmission lines and the results were compared to similar measurements on SIMOX and bulk silicon wafers
