Developing a PSi fabrication process starting from standard Si wafers has several advantages. The first is an economical one, as m\u03a9cm wafers typically cost several times the price. A second is the fact that m\u03a9cm wafers present a higher source of impurity contamination to the process equipment and are undesirable in some fabs.<\/p><p>The porosification step renders the wafers significantly more fragile and generally less mechanically stable. It will then be a challenge to handle wafers that have been porosified prior to the CMOS process chain (PRE-PSi substrates) in fabs, as well as in the dicing and packaging industries with high yield rates. For these reasons, post-CMOS process porous silicon (POST-PSi) has been proposed for the first time by UCLouvain\u2019s research group [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0038110119307221?via%3Dihub\">218<\/a>], [<a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/8700844\">219<\/a>].

It is commonly accepted that gold atoms in substitutional sites in crystalline silicon introduce two main deep-level trap states: a donor level at approximately EV + 0.34 eV and an acceptor level at approximately EC &#8211; 0.54 eV.<br \/>UCLouvain, in collaboration with the University of Southampton, has worked to characterize and model Au-compensated substrate samples. Starting from standard resistivity silicon samples, we demonstrate that excellent RF performance is achieved in terms of losses, linearity and effective resistivity by introducing the deep-level Au traps throughout the entire silicon volume through diffusion of Au [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S003811011930721X?via%3Dihub\">168<\/a>]. The physics of the substrate are also well understood and modelled accurately in a TCAD framework.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2566bea\" data-id=\"2566bea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1a9322 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d1a9322\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77869f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"77869f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a223c5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a223c5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"565\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/RF-SOI-group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Au_1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-25023\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/RF-SOI-group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Au_1.png 565w, https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/RF-SOI-group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Au_1-300x190.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d516e8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d516e8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-344722f\" data-id=\"344722f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9f835f elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"f9f835f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a343c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3a343c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">III-V Materials on Silicon Substrates<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b413e10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b413e10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At mm-wave frequencies, silicon-based devices are outperformed by novel semiconductor technologies including the III-N (e.g., GaN) and III-V (e.g., InP) material systems.
