摘要:
A method for selectively depositing refractory metal (for example tungsten) on the surface (15) of a semiconductor substrate to form an electrical contact, without depositing refractory metal on an adjacent mask layer (11). Refractory metal halide gas and hydrogen gas are simultaneously flowed through a reaction chamber to deposit the refractory metal on the substrate surface and to a lesser extent on the mask layer. Then the flow of hydrogen is interrupted to cause the refractory metal halide to etch the refractory metal which forms on the mask layer. The deposition and etch steps are repeated until the requisite thickness is deposited. The process may take place in a single reaction chamber, using only refractory metal halide gas and pulsed flow of hydrogen gas. A low resistivity refractory metal layer is produced, and damage to the semiconductor surface is minimized.

A p-type GaAs or AℓGaAs thin film is formed by a MOCVD method. In the growing step of the thin film, the thin film is doped with a high concentration of carbon atoms forming an acceptor level such that the carrier concentration of the thin film falls within the range of between 1 × 10¹⁸ cm⁻³ and 1 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³. At least one of trimethyl gallium and trimethyl aluminium is used as a raw material gaseous compound of III-group element, and arsine is used as a raw material gaseous compound of V-group element. The thin film is formed by an epitaxial growth under the molar ratio V/III of the V-group element supply rate to the III-group element supply rate, which is set at such a small value as 0.3 to 2.5, the temperature of 450 to 700°C and the pressure of 1 to 400 Torr. The thin film formed under these conditions exhibits a mirror-like smooth surface, and the film-growth rate is dependent on the supply rate of the V-group element.

摘要:
In order, in the epitaxial production of semiconductor products and of articles provided with a layer, to be able to make the junction between the layers applied to the substrates atomically sharp, it is important to be able to change the gas mixture, to be introduced into a pulsed reactor or MBE reactor, rapidly, accurately and without losses in respect of quantity and of composition. To this purpose, each of the gases to be introduced into the reactor (13) is conveyed to a separate gas pipette (9) and thereafter the content of the gas pipette is cyclically passed, by means of a pressure differential, into the pulse reactor, with the composition of the mixture being changed per one or more cycles.
