摘要:
An underlying insulting film of silicon oxide, a gate insulating film of hafnium oxide, a gate electrode of polysilicon, and side walls of silicon oxide are formed above an element formation region of a semiconductor substrate In the upper portion of the element formation region of the semiconductor substrate, source and drain areas and extension areas are formed by implantations of respective types. Thereafter, the scan speed of the semiconductor substrate and the pulse interval and the peak power of laser beam are adjusted to irradiate only the vicinity of the surface of the semiconductor substrate with laser beam for 0.1 second so that the vicinity of the surface of the semiconductor substrate has a temperature of 1150 to 1250°C. Thus, heat treatments for the gate insulating film and the source and drain areas are performed.
摘要:
On a silicon substrate is formed a silicon dioxide film and then hemispherical grains made of silicon, each having an extremely small diameter. are deposited thereon by LPCVD. After annealing the hemispherical grains, the silicon dioxide film is etched using the hemispherical grains as a first dotted mask, thereby forming a second dotted mask composed of the silicon dioxide film. The resulting second dotted mask is used to etch the silicon substrate to a specified depth from the surface thereof, thereby forming an aggregate of semiconductor micro-needles. Since the diameter of each of the semiconductor micro-needles is sufficiently small to cause the quantum size effects as well as has only small size variations, remarkable quantum size effects can be obtained. Therefore, it becomes possible to constitute a semiconductor apparatus with a high information-processing function by using the aggregate of semiconductor micro-needles (quantized region).
