Summary:

Using non-destructive Optical Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) we have characterized Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafers manufactured by two distinct leading process technologies. After parsing out the SHG signal contribution from layer thickness on each wafer, three areas of anomalous signal remained on wafer A. Results on two of the anomalous areas by destructive quantitative techniques indicate subsurface trace metal contamination.
