Micromechanical structures (15) having surfaces closely spaced from surfaces of a substrate (11) are formed using normal wet etching techniques but are not dried in a conventional manner. While the substrate (11) with the microstructures (15) formed thereon is still wet, the substrate (11) is covered with a liquid that can be frozen, such as deionized water. The liquid on the flooded structure (15) is then frozen in a well controlled manner such that freezing is completed before the microstructure (15) is uncovered. The microstructures (15) are therefore undeflected and are covered by a solid on all surfaces. This solid is then sublimated at a predetermined temperature. Because the frozen liquid (e.g., ice) supports its own surface tension, the microstructures (15) are not drawn toward the substrate (11), as occurs with the drying of liquids. The sublimation of all the frozen liquid leaves undeflected microstructures (15) with no permanent bonding of the facing surfaces (16, 18) of the microstructure (15) and the substrate (11).
摘要:
A process for the production of semiconductor devices which comprises washing a cleaned semiconductor substrate (1) with or without one or more component parts formed thereon, with pure water (4), freezing pure water containing the washed substrate, preserving and/or transporting the ice(14)-covered substrate, and thawing and drying the substrate (7) before a subsequent process. The production process of the present invention can remove contamination on a surface of the semiconductor substrate in a wafer process and can inhibit the formation of a natural oxide coating on a surface of the substrate, thus shortening and simplifying the wafer process, increasing the quality and yield of the semiconductor devices, and enabling the cleaned substrate to be preserved for a long period and transported to distant areas or far countries.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a nanocarbon film using a hybrid substrate with which a nanocarbon film free from defects can be produced at low cost. This method is characterized in forming an ion implantation region by implanting ion into a single crystal silicon carbide substrate from a surface thereof and after bonding together the surface of the silicon carbide substrate implanted with ion and a surface of a base substrate, releasing the silicon carbide substrate at the ion implanted region to produce a hybrid substrate in which a thin film that includes the single crystal silicon carbide is transferred onto the base substrate, and then heating the hybrid substrate to sublime silicon atoms from the thin film that includes the single crystal silicon carbide so as to obtain the nanocarbon film.
