摘要:
A method for manufacturing an SOI substrate is provided in which adhesiveness between a single crystal semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor substrate is improved; bonding defects are reduced; and sufficient bonding strength is provided in a bonding step and also in a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device. An insulating film including halogen is formed on a single crystal semiconductor substrate side in which an embrittlement layer is formed. The insulating film including halogen undergoes a plasma treatment. The insulating film including halogen and a face of a semiconductor substrate are bonded so as to face each other. A thermal treatment is performed to split the single crystal semiconductor substrate along the embrittlement layer, thereby separating the single crystal semiconductor substrate into a single crystal semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor substrate to which a single crystal semiconductor layer is bonded. The single crystal semiconductor layer bonded to the semiconductor substrate undergoes a planarization treatment.

To provide a method for manufacturing an SOI substrate provided with a semiconductor layer which can be used practically even when a substrate having a low heat-resistant temperature, such as a glass substrate or the like is used. The semiconductor layer is transferred to a supporting substrate by the steps of irradiating a semiconductor wafer with ions from one surface to form a damaged layer; forming an insulating layer over one surface of the semiconductor wafer; attaching one surface of the supporting substrate to the insulating layer formed over the semiconductor wafer and performing heat treatment to bond the supporting substrate to the semiconductor wafer; and performing separation at the damaged layer into the semiconductor wafer and the supporting substrate. The damaged layer remaining partially over the semiconductor layer is removed by wet etching and a surface of the semiconductor layer is irradiated with a laser beam.

The method includes steps of adding first ions to a predetermined depth from a main surface of a semiconductor substrate by irradiation of the semiconductor substrate with a planar, linear, or rectangular ion beam, so that a separation layer is formed; adding second ions to part of the separation layer formed in the semiconductor substrate; disposing the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and a main surface of a base substrate to face each other in order to bond a surface of an insulating film and the base substrate; and cleaving the semiconductor substrate using the separation layer as a cleavage plane, so that a single crystal semiconductor layer is formed over the base substrate. The mass number of the second ions is the same as or larger than that of the first ions.

A TFT formed on an insulating substrate source, drain and channel regions, a gate insulating film formed on at least the channel region and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film. Between the channel region and the drain region, a region having a higher resistivity is provided in order to reduce an Ioff current. A method for forming this structure comprises the steps of anodizing the gate electrode to form a porous anodic oxide film on the side of the gate electrode; removing a portion of the gate insulating using the porous anodic oxide film as a mask so that the gate insulating film extends beyond the gate electrode but does not completely cover the source and drain regions. Thereafter, an ion doping of one conductivity element is performed. The high resistivity region is defined under the gate insulating film.

A single crystal semiconductor substrate including an embrittlement layer is attached to a base substrate with an insulating layer interposed therebetween, and the single crystal semiconductor layer is separated at the embrittlement layer by heat treatment; accordingly, a single crystal semiconductor layer is fixed over the base substrate. The single crystal semiconductor layer is irradiated with a laser beam so that the single crystal semiconductor layer is partially melted and then is re-single crystallized, whereby crystal defects are removed. In addition, an island-shaped single crystal semiconductor layer for forming an n-channel transistor is channel-doped using a photomask and then is etched back using the photomask so that the island-shaped single crystal semiconductor layer for forming an n-channel transistor is thinner than the island-shaped single crystal semiconductor layer for forming a p-channel transistor.

By using a photomask or a reticle provided with an auxiliary pattern having a light intensity reduction function formed of a diffraction grating pattern or a semi-transparent film, the width of a region with a small thickness of a gate electrode can be freely set, and the widths of two LDD regions capable of being formed in a self-aligned manner with the gate electrode as a mask can be different in accordance with each circuit. In one TFT, both of two LDD regions with different widths overlap a gate electrode.

The semiconductor substrate is heated to be separated at the embrittled layer while a semiconductor layer is left remaining over the substrate having an insulating surface.
