An object of this invention is to provide a method for making a junction which is simple in the process, high in the throughput, and can make a shallow junction with high accuracy. After the suitable state of a substrate surface adapted to the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave to be applied has been formed, the electromagnetic wave is applied to electrically activate impurities so that the excited energy is effectively absorbed within the impurity thin film, thereby effectively making a shallow junction.

A method for introducing impurities includes a step for forming an amorphous layer at a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a step for forming a shallow impurity-introducing layer at the semiconductor substrate which has been made amorphous, and an apparatus used therefore.

摘要:
It is an object to prevent functions expected originally from being unexhibited when impurities to be introduced into a solid sample are mixed with each other, and to implement plasma doping with high precision. In order to distinguish impurities which may be mixed from impurities which should not be mixed, first of all, an impurity introducing mechanism of a core is first distinguished. In order to avoid a mixture of the impurities in very small amounts, a mechanism for delivering a semiconductor substrate to be treated and a mechanism for removing a resin material to be formed on the semiconductor substrate are used exclusively.

To provide a fine transistor of high precision. A method for fabricating a transistor comprises the step of forming a gate electrode (340) on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, the step of introducing an impurity across said gate electrode (340), and the step of activating said impurity, thereby to form a source/drain region (310, 320) in the region having said impurity introduced thereinto. In the transistor fabricating method, the step of introducing said impurity includes a plasma irradiating step. The method further comprises the step of forming, prior to said activating step, a reflection preventing film (400) on the surface of the region having said impurity introduced thereinto, so that the optical reflectivity of said impurity introduced region may be lower than the reflectivity of said gate electrode surface.

摘要:
A method of introducing an impurity and an apparatus for introducing the impurity forms an impurity layer easily in a shallower profile. Component devices manufactured taking advantage of these method or apparatus are also disclosed. When introducing a material to a solid substance which has an oxidized film or other film sticking at the surface, the present method and apparatus first removes the oxidized film and other film using at least one means selected from among the group consisting of a means for irradiating the surface of solid substance with plasma, a means for irradiating the surface of solid substance with gas and a means for dipping the surface of solid substance in a reductive liquid; and then, attaches or introduces a certain desired particle. The way of attaching, or introducing, a particle is bringing a particle-containing gas to make contact to the surface, which surface has been made to be free of the oxidized film and other film. Thus, the particle is attached or introduced to the surface, or the vicinity, of solid substance. The component devices are those manufactured taking advantage of the above method or apparatus.
