Abstract:
Micro-Raman spectroscopy was used in this study for the analysis of the influence of process conditions on the strain
and stress in macro-porous layers. As expected, it was found that oxidation results in significant wafer bending,
depending on the layer porosity. The magnitude of stress of about 0.33 GPa was found for ma-PS sample with lattice
constant of 4 ?m while for sample with the lattice constant of 12 ?m it was only 0.175 GPa. Dissolution of the oxide
layer restores the flatness of the samples after the first oxidation. Repetition of the oxidation cycles leads to a
?memory effect?, as the residual deformation increases. The results are consistent with results obtained for similar
samples using X-ray diffractometry and topography and curvature measurements.
