Ibis produces high quality SIMOX-SOI wafers of several different types:
Advantox MLD-UT wafers have an ultra-thin top silicon layer, ideally suited for next-generation CMOS devices requiring high quality and extreme SOI uniformity.
Advantox MLD wafers are production-proven for high quality, consistently uniform, low cost SOI wafers.
SIMOX 400 wafers are thick SOI wafers specifically intended for high voltage, high temperature or radiation-hardened devices.

(1) SOI thickness can
be increased by epitaxial growth to 5µm
for Advantox MLD, and to 50µm
for SIMOX 400. Resulting within-wafer thickness
uniformity is <±2.5%. Please contact Ibis for
a list of qualified EPI vendors.
(2) For SOI thicknesses <145nm, please contact
Ibis for BOX thickness parameters.
(3) For SOI thicknesses <55nm, please contact Ibis
for BOX thickness parameters.
