摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising at least a support body (1) and a monocrystalline semiconductor body (6, 7), in which both bodies are provided with at least one flat optically smooth surface obtained by means of bulkreducing polishing (mirror polishing) and at least the semiconductor body (6, 7) is then provided at the optically smooth surface with an electrically insulating layer (4), at least the electrically insulating layer on the semiconductor body being subjected to a bonding activating operation, whereupon both bodies (1;6,7), after their flat surfaces have been cleaned, are contacted with each other in a dust-free atmosphere in order to obtain a rigid mechanical connection, after which they are subjected to a heat treatment of at least 350 °C, whereupon the semi- conductor body (6, 7) is etched to a thin layer (7) having a predetermined value lying between 0.05 and 100 µm.
摘要:
A method of bonding together two optical surfaces, such as a scintillator plate and a plate which is formed by the ends of a bundle of optical fibres. An assembly of this kind can be used in an electron microscope in order to convert the electron image into an image of visible light which is transported, for example to a detector. It is specified that the two surfaces to be bonded must be bonded rigidly to one another without an intermediate layer and without a noticeable intermediate space( i.e. a space much smaller than the wavelength of the visible light). In accordance with the invention, this is achieved by optically polishing and cleaning the surfaces to be bonded, after which they are arranged one against the other without an intermediate material, the contacting surfaces then being subjected to a thermal treatment at a temperature beyond the fusion temperature but below the softening temperature of the material of each of the surfaces.

A method of manufacturing a silicon-on-insulator semiconductor body is characterized by the steps consisting in that a carrier body is temporarily connected to a supporting body with accurately flat and parallel major surfaces and having a thickness of at least 1/8 of the largest dimension of the carrier body, in that the free major surface of the carrier body is mechanically polished to a precision of at least ½ µm flatness, in that the carrier body is detached from the supporting body and the polished major surface is temporarily connected to the supporting body and the other major surface of the carrier body is mechanically polished to a precision of at least ½ µm flatness and a parallelism between the major surfaces of at least ½ µm whereupon a semiconductor body is connected through a major surface permanently to a major surface of the carrier body, in that then the semiconductor body is mechanically ground to a thickness of at least 50 µm larger than the desired ultimate layer thickness and is then alternately polished tribochemically and mechanically to a thickness of about 10 µm larger than the ultimately desired layer thickness, and in that there is ultimately polished tribochemically until the desired layer thickness of the semiconductor body is attained.
摘要:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device of the "semiconductor on insulator" type comprising at least one carrier body and a monocrystalline semiconductor body, in a major surface (2) of a monocrystalline semiconductor body (1) grooves (3) are provided having a predetermined depth. The surface provided with grooves is coated with a layer (4) of material resistant to polishing; this layer is coated with a layer (5) of a chemomechanically polishable material having a layer thickness exceeding the groove depth, the latter layer (5) being polished to flatness and smoothness. The polished surface of the semiconductor body (1) is connected to a smooth flat major surface of a carrier body (6). Subsequently, the semiconductor body (1) is made thin, at least the last part of this operation consisting of a polishing step, which terminates on the layer (4) of material resistant to polishing so that mutually insulated "semiconductor on insulator" regions are obtained, the thickness of the semiconductor regions being equal to the depth of the grooves.
摘要:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, at least a support body (1) and a monocrystalline semiconductor body (2) are provided with at least one flat optically smooth surface obtained by means of bulk-reducing polishing (mirror polishing), while at least the semiconductor body is provided at the optically smooth surface with an oxide layer (3). The two bodies (1 and 2) are brought into contact with each other in a dust-free atmosphere after their flat surfaces have been cleaned in order to obtain a mechanical connection. Before the bodies are brought into contact with each other, at least the oxide layer (3) on the semiconductor body (2) is subjected to a bonding-activating operation, while after a connection has been formed between the surfaces, radiation (5) of a laser is focused on the connection surface of the two bodies and material of at least the semiconductor body is molten locally near the connection surface by means of the laser radiation. After solidification, a locally fused connection has been established between the two bodies. The semiconductor body (2) is formed from a material admitting a sufficient oxygen diffusion.
