Abstract: Provided is an intermetallic dielectric layer structure of a silicon-on-insulator device, comprising a silicon-rich oxide layer (54) covering a metal interconnect, a fluorine-silicon glass layer on the silicon-rich oxide layer, and a non-doped silicate glass layer on the fluorine-silicon glass layer; the thickness of the silicon-rich oxide layer (54) is 700 angstroms ±10%; the silicon-rich oxide layer having a greater thickness captures movable ions on an unsaturated bond, such that it is difficult for the movable ions to pass through the silicon-rich oxide layer, thus blocking the movable ions. The present invention has good performance in an integrity evaluation of the gate oxide layer, and avoids damage to the device caused by the aggregation of movable ions at an interface. Also provided are a silicon-on-insulator device and a method of manufacturing the intermetallic dielectric layer of the silicon-on-insulator device.
