current leaking of SOI wafer

Hello all,

when I was making samples from SOI wafer, I found a relative small
resistance(1 Mohm) between electrodes(200 micro*1mm) on top of device
layer and substrate Si.

from my analysis, there are two possibility:

1. the quality of SOI wafer(device layer 100nm, SiO2 Box 350 nm)

2. wire bonder, when I was doing wire bonder, it might punch through
Au(100nm)/Si(100nm)/SiO2(350nm) down to the substrate.

which one is more likely?

best
