摘要:
Disclosed is a method for fabricating very high performance semiconductor devices, particularly bipolar-type transistors having a heavily doped inactive base and a lightly doped narrow active base formed by ion implantation. In order to prevent the high dose boron implantation, for an NPN transistor, from getting into the active base region, a self-aligned mask covering the emitter contact i.e., active base region, is required for inactive base implantation. The self-aligned mask is anodically oxidized aluminum pads. The device wafer metallized with blanket aluminum film is immersed in a dilute H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 solution electrolytic cell which selectively anodizes only the aluminum lands situated over the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 /SiO.sub.2 defined device contact windows. The aluminum oxide formed by anodization process is porous but may be sealed and densified. The aluminum film that is not anodized is then selectively etched off using either chemical solution or sputter etching. Using the aluminum oxide formed over the contact windows to mask the active base region, a high dose boron implantation is made through the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 /SiO.sub.2 layers to dope the external base region. After stripping the aluminum oxide from the emitter contact window, the emitter with a desired concentration profile and junction depth is subsequently formed. Formation of the active base is formed by a low dose boron implantation made with its concentration peak below the emitter. A relatively low temperature annealing, as for example, 900.degree. C., is used to fully activate the implanted boron and minimize the redistribution of the active base doping profile. The device thus formed will have a controllable narrow base width and doping profile.

An integrated circuit substrate surface, particularly a surface of electrically insulative material, having a pattern of elevated areas and a complementary pattern of unelevated areas is planarized by forming the photoresist pattern in registration with the pattern of unelevated areas, the photoresist pattern having narrower lateral dimensions than said elevated pattern whereby registration is facilitated, flowing the photoresist pattern to laterally expand the photoresist to cover and thereby mask the unelevated areas, and etching to lower the elevated areas which remain uncovered by the photoresist.
摘要:
The invention is a method of fabricating dielectrically isolated semiconductor regions adapted for the construction of an integrated circuit on an epitaxial wafer wherein the epitaxial wafer has a first layer of monocrystalline n+ type silicon of a predetermined thickness and a second layer of epitaxially deposited n-type silicon which is substantially thinner than the first layer. A layer of silicon dioxide is grown on the back side of the first layer of the wafer and a layer of polycrystalline silicon is deposited onto the silicon dioxide layer. An aluminum oxide mask is formed defining a plurality of grooves around active semiconductor regions within the n-type silicon layer. The grooves are formed by a sputter etching process. Silicon dioxide is thermally grown within each of the grooves exposed by the sputter etching process to dielectrically isolate the active semiconductor regions after which semiconductor devices may be formed in each of the active semiconductor regions.

摘要:
A process for forming electrodes for semiconductor devices having a semiconductor substrate and an electrically conductive portion covered and protected by an electrically insulating coating. The process includes the steps of forming an electrically conductive film on the electrically insulating coating, forming an electrode to be connected to an external circuit on the electrically conductive film at a position overlying the electrically conductive portion by exposing portions of the electrically insulating coating and the first electrically conductive film to a converged ion beam, electrically connecting the electrode to the exposed portions of the electrically conductive film, and removing the portions of the electrically conductive film not covered by the electrode. As a result, the likelihood of breakdown of the internal circuit of the semiconductor device connected to the electrically conductive portion while the electrode is being formed is greatly reduced.

摘要:
A method for separating laser diodes. The diodes are monolithically produced from a semiconductor substrate wafer which through an epitaxy process has been provided with a layer sequence suitable for laser operation. First, the semiconductor substrate wafer is covered with a first mask which defines the interspaces between the mirrors of adjacent laser diodes. Then the mirror surfaces are etched out of the semiconductor substrate wafer. Thereafter, the wafer is covered with a second mask for defining separation trench areas between the mirror surfaces of adjacent laser diodes and for protecting the remaining wafer parts. Then, separation are etched into the trench area. Finally, the laser diodes are separated by breaking the wafer along the trenches. In a preferred embodiment, the wafer thickness is at most twice the distance between the mirror surfaces of adjacent laser diodes and the trench depth is at least one fourth of the wafer thickness.
