In an embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor layer having regions into which a p-type impurity, an n-type impurity and a (p+n) impurity are respectively introduced is formed as a surface layer by being heat-treated. An impurity segregation layer on these regions is removed, and a film of a metallic material is thereafter formed on the regions and is heat-treated, thereby forming a silicide film on the semiconductor layer. In another embodiment, an impurity is introduced into the impurity segregation layer, and a film of a metallic material is thereafter formed on the impurity segregation layer and is heat-treated to form a silicide film.

A drive unit is described for switching circuit breakers on and off, in particular disconnecting switches and/or grounding switches of medium-voltage switchgear. The drive unit includes a reversible d.c. motor and a switching device containing two separately drivable and interlocked reversing switches, one assigned to each direction of rotation of the d.c. motor, their contacts performing the current reversal on the windings of the d.c. motor as required to reverse the direction of rotation. The drive unit further includes power contactors whose contacts have the required switching capacity for load switching. The all-or-nothing relays and safety switches are implemented by uniform low-power relays representing the direction of rotation, each having at least two electrically isolated relay contacts connected in parallel and also having an equalizing capacitor connected in parallel to each. Such drive units are used in connection with switchgear for power transmission and distribution.
摘要:
A shallow p-n junction diffusion layer having a high activation rate of implanted ions, low resistivity, and a controlled leakage current is formed through annealing. Annealing after impurities have been doped is carried out through light irradiation. Those impurities are activated by annealing at least twice through light irradiation after doping impurities to a semiconductor substrate 11. The light radiations are characterized by usage of a W halogen lamp RTA or a flash lamp FLA except for the final light irradiation using a flash lamp FLA. Impurity diffusion maybe controlled to a minimum, and crystal defects, which have developed in an impurity doping process, may be sufficiently reduced when forming ion implanted layers in a source and a drain extension region of the MOSFET or ion implanted layers in a source and a drain region.

The first gate insulation film is formed of a silicon oxide film or a silicon oxynitride film having a nitrogen concentration of 15 atomic % or less. The second gate insulation film is formed on the first gate insulation film and contains nitrogen at a concentration of between 20 atomic % and 57 atomic %.

A semiconductor device manufacturing method is disclosed. A silicon-containing gate electrode is first formed above the surface of a silicon-containing semiconductor substrate. Then, a sidewall insulating film is formed on the sidewall of the gate electrode and a film of metal is formed on the semiconductor substrate to cover the gate electrode and the sidewall insulating film. The front and back sides of the semiconductor substrate are heated through heat conduction by an ambient gas. Thereby, the metal is caused to react with silicon contained in the semiconductor substrate and the gate electrode to form a metal silicide film.
