Backgate-characteristics determination method and device that make for curtailing the fabrication of semiconductor circuit elements having defective backgate-characteristics. Initially a first C-V curve 30 representing the relation between a voltage applied to the obverse face of a wafer 20 serving as a substrate for semiconductor circuit elements, and its capacitance, is found. Next, a second C-V curve 32 is found through applying a voltage to the reverse face of the wafer 20. The backgate characteristics for the semiconductor circuit elements are determined based on a voltage-shift amount 34 for the wafer 20, found from the first C-V curve 30 and the second C-V curve 32.
摘要:
An apparatus for thermally processing a semiconductor wafer includes a susceptor to support the wafer, a heater arrangement to differentially heat the wafer and provide a temperature distribution on said wafer, a radiation thermometer for measuring the temperature distribution, and means for controlling and varying the temperature distribution. The heater arrangement particularly includes a first heater to heat an edge of the wafer, around a second heater to heat a center area of the wafer. With this apparatus, the rate of change of the temperature and the temperature distribution of the wafer can be controlled within tolerable limits to avoid slip line generation. Also, the relative stress state of the wafer edge and the wafer center can be influenced by differential heating of the edge and the center.
