A technique is developed to measure silicon-on-insulator (SOI) silicon device film thickness using a MOSFET. The method is based on CV measurements between gate and source/drain at two different back-gate voltages. This method is simple, nondestructive, and no special test structure is needed. Using this technique, SOI film thickness mapping was made on a finished wafer and a thickness variation of +/- 150 angstrom was found.
