A divisor B of a nonzero polynomial A, defined over the prime field of two elements, is unitary (resp. bi-unitary) if gcd(B,A/B)=1 (resp. gcdu(B,A/B)=1), where gcdu(B,A/B) denotes the greatest common unitary divisor of B and A/B. We denote by σ**(A) the sum of all bi-unitary monic divisors of A. A polynomial A is called a bi-unitary superperfect polynomial over F2 if the sum of all bi-unitary monic divisors of σ**(A) equals A. In this paper, we give all bi-unitary superperfect polynomials divisible by one or two irreducible polynomials over F2. We prove the nonexistence of odd bi-unitary superperfect polynomials over F2.
