摘要:
In a process and apparatus for manufacturing a MOS device, a first clearance speed (X) of an annealing gas and optionally also of an oxidising gas, defined as the ratio of the flow rate to the area of clearance between a semiconductor wafer (4) and the interior surface of a tube (2) of a furnace (1) is controlled, e.g. to be at least 30 cm/min, while the semiconductor wafer is annealed and, optionally, oxidised. A second clearance speed (Y) of annealing gas is also controlled, e.g. to be at least 100 cm/min, while the semiconductor wafer is taken out of the tube. Further, the relation between X and Y is controlled, e.g. so that Y s -2.5 X + 275. The process and the apparatus reduce and control the fixed-charge density in the oxide film of a MOS device, with high repeatability.
