摘要:
Dielectrically isolated semiconductor devices are producible through a relatively convenient fabrication procedure. In this fabrication procedure, a substrate having regions of single crystal silicon and regions of silicon oxide is employed. Such substrate is expeditiously produced by methods which leave the surface of the single crystal regions below those of the silicon oxide regions. Silicon is deposited by CVD onto the structure with its regions of silicon dioxide and single crystal silicon. Initially, the conditions of the CVD procedure are controlled so that epitaxial silicon grows on the regions of single crystal silicon but essentially no growth is induced on the silicon oxide regions. When the growth of the single crystal regions has proceeded sufficiently to produce a substantially planar structure, advantageously the deposition conditions are adjusted so that silicon is also deposited on the surface of the silicon oxide. The polycrystalline or amorphous silicon layer overlying regions of silicon oxide produced from this growth is then converted into single crystal silicon.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a SeOI substrate that includes a thin working layer made from one or more semiconductor material(s); a support layer; and a thin buried oxide layer between the working layer and the support layer. The method includes a manufacturing step of an intermediate SeOI substrate having a buried oxide layer with a thickness greater than a thickness desired for the thin buried oxide layer; and a dissolution step of the buried oxide layer in order to form therewith the thin buried oxide layer. After the dissolution step, an oxidation step of the substrate is conducted for creating an oxidized layer on the substrate, and an oxide migration step for diffusing at least a part of the oxide layer through the working layer in order to increase the electrical interface quality of the substrate and decrease its Dit value.

摘要:
A method for forming a device wafer with a recyclable support by providing a wafer having first and second surfaces, with at least the first surface of the wafer comprising a semiconductor material that is suitable for receiving or forming electronic devices thereon, providing a supporting substrate having upper and lower surfaces, and providing the second surface of the wafer or the upper surface of the supporting substrate with void features in an amount sufficient to enable a connecting bond therebetween to form a construct wherein the bond is formed at an interface between the wafer and the substrate and is suitable to maintain the wafer and supporting substrate in association while forming or applying electronic devices to the first surface of the wafer, but which connecting bond is severable at the interface due to the void features to separate the substrate from the wafer so that the substrate can be reused.
摘要:
In dielectrically isolated devices a buried conducting layer adjacent to the dielectric layer is produced by a drift effect. In particular, if arsenic antimony and/or phosphorus is present in the silicon dioxide layer, it is caused to drift from this layer and enter the adjacent isolated silicon region while maintaining a relatively narrow spatial configuration. Thus, a discrete buried highly conductive layer is formed. This configuration is particularly useful for transistor configurations such as utilized in switching applications.
摘要:
The sharp features that appear on metallization patterns defined by conventional etching processes can be eliminated by instantaneous melting with short laser pulses. Flow is minimized due to the brevity of the lifetime of the molten state but surface tension removes the sharp corners. With polysilicon metallization conductivity is also improved.

The specification describes structures, and methods for making them, in which self-guarded p-n junctions or the electrical isolation between multiple devices in an integrated circuit are formed using regions of amorphous semiconductor. The structures are conveniently formed by ion damaging the semiconductor to form the amorphous region and annealing selected portions of the amorphous region by selective radiation annealing.

摘要:
A method for making a crystalline wafer, in which an interface layer is associated with a support substrate. A first layer is associated with the interface layer in a strained state. The interface layer is melted sufficiently to substantially uncouple the first layer from the support substrate to relax the first layer from the strained to state to a relaxed state. The interface material is solidified with the first layer in the relaxed state to obtain a first wafer.
