摘要:
A multilayer semiconductor wafer has a substrate wafer having a first side and a second side; a fully or partially relaxed heteroepitaxial layer deposited on the first side of the substrate wafer; and a stress compensating layer deposited on the second side of the substrate wafer. The multilayer semiconductor wafer is produced by a method including depositing on a first side of a substrate a fully or partially relaxed heteroepitaxial layer at a deposition temperature; and at the same temperature or before significantly cooling the wafer from the deposition temperature, providing a stress compensating layer on a second side of the substrate.
摘要:
A process for epitaxially coating the front surface of a semiconductor wafer in a CVD reactor, the front surface of the semiconductor wafer being exposed to a process gas which contains a source gas and a carrier gas, and the back surface of the semiconductor wafer being exposed to a displacement gas, wherein the displacement gas contains no more than 5% by volume of hydrogen, with the result that diffusion of dopants out of the back surface of the semiconductor wafer, which is intensified by hydrogen, is substantially avoided.

A semiconductor wafer with a front surface and a back surface and an epitaxial layer of semiconducting material deposited on the front surface, wherein the surface of the epitaxial layer has a maximum density of 0.14 localized light scatterers per cm2 with a cross section of greater than or equal to 0.12 μm, and the front surface of the semiconductor wafer, prior to the deposition of the epitaxial layer, has a surface roughness of 0.05 to 0.29 nm RMS, measured by AFM on a 1 μm×1 μm reference area. There is also a process for producing a semiconductor wafer with a front surface and a back surface and an epitaxial layer of semiconducting material deposited on the front surface. The process includes the following: (a) a stock removal polishing step as the only polishing step; (b) cleaning and drying of the semiconductor wafer; (c) pretreatment of the front surface of the semiconductor wafer at a temperature of from 950 to 1250 degrees Celsius in an epitaxy reactor; and (d) deposition of the epitaxial layer on the front surface of the pretreated semiconductor wafer.
