摘要:
In forming various types of insulating films in manufacture of a semiconductor device, carbon is gasified into CHx, COH etc. during film formation by adding active hydrogen and nitrogen oxide to reduce the carbon content during the film formation, and the effect of blocking impurities such as alkali metals is improved.

A vapor phase reaction apparatus includes a reaction chamber defined by first and second walls fixed opposite each other. Third and fourth walls are introduced into the reaction chamber already having affixed to them a substrate for deposition. A reactive gas is introduced into the reaction chamber for chemical vapor deposition onto the substrate.
摘要:
A silicon oxide film is formed to cover an island non-monocrystalline silicon region by plasma CVD using an organic silane having ethoxy groups (e.g., TEOS) and oxygen as raw materials, while hydrogen chloride or a chlorine-containing hydrocarbon (e.g., trichloroethylene) of a fluorine-containing gas is added to the plasma CVD atmosphere, preferably in an amount of from 0.01 to 1 mol % of the atmosphere so as to reduce the alkali elements from the silicon oxide film formed and to improve the reliability of the film. Prior to forming the silicon oxide film, the silicon region may be treated in a plasma atmosphere containing oxygen and hydrogen chloride or a chlorine-containing hydrocarbon. The silicon oxide film is obtained at low temperatures and this has high reliability usable as a gate-insulating film in a semiconductor device.

摘要:
An improved image sensor made of photosensitive semiconductor materials with a number of pixels each including an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer and an intrinsic semiconductor layer disposed between the n-type and p-type layers. The n-type and p-type layers are made from a semiconductor material having a high resistivity. The high resistivity of the n-type layer and the p-type layer functions to prevent crosstalk currents from passing between the pixels.

摘要:
A plasma gaseous reaction apparatus including a reaction chamber, a system for supplying reaction gas to the reaction chamber and an exhaust system for exhausting unnecessary reaction products. Specifically, the apparatus includes a pair of facing electrodes disposed in the reaction chamber which are covered by shields except the area in which the electrodes face each other. The shields may include a first and second shield wherein the inner first shield is electrically insulated from the electrodes and the outer second shield is kept at earth potential. The apparatus further includes a substrate container for supporting substrates which surrounds the substrates by a frame. The outside of the substrate container is kept in the earth potential and is covered by a conductor plate electrically insulated from the container. The shields and substrate container are configured such that plasma generated by electric power supplied by the electrodes is confined in a space surrounded by the shields and the container.

A method for forming a resistance-reducing electrode pattern in an electrooptical device includes the steps of: forming a transparent conductive film on a substrate; forming a plurality of opaque conductive strips on the film; and scribing the combined structure with a laser through the two layers to simultaneously divide the conductive strips into two parts and pattern the transparent film. In this manner, a pattern of transparent electrodes bordered with an opaque electrode pattern is formed. In specific embodiments, the opaque strips may comprise chromium, and the opaque conductive strips may be formed prior to application of the steps above by laser scribing an applied opaque film layer.
