摘要:
A method of manufacturing image sensors where (a) a first conductive film of a transparent material is formed over and in contact with a transparent substrate; (b) a photosensitive semiconductor film is formed over and in contact with the film; (c) the first conductive film and the semiconductor film are patterned by laser scribing; (d) a first insulating film is formed over the above films and in contact with the first conductive film and the semiconductor film and portions thereof are removed which are not necessary to define the image sensors in the patterned semiconductor film; (e) a second conductive film is formed over the semiconductor film and the remaining portions of the first insulating film in order to make contact with the semiconductor film; (f) the second conductive film is patterned; (g) a second insulating film is formed over and in contact with the second conductive film; (h) the second insulating film is patterned; and (i) an electrode arrangement is formed for withdrawing electrical signals from the second conductive film through the patterned second insulating film, wherein the patternings of the first conductive film, the second conductive film, and the second insulating film are primarily performed by laser scribing to reduce the fabrication cost of the image sensors.

摘要:
In a process of forming a silicon oxide film 116 that constitutes an interlayer insulating film with TEOS as a raw material through the plasma CVD method, the RF output is oscillated at 50 W, and the RF output is gradually increased from 50 W to 250 W (an output value at the time of forming a film) after discharging (after the generation of O2-plasma). A TEOS gas is supplied to start the film formation simultaneously when the RF output becomes 250 W, or while the timing is shifted. As a result, because the RF power supply is oscillated at a low output when starting discharging, a voltage between the RF electrodes can be prevented from changing transitionally and largely.

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:
In forming an insulating film for a thin film transistor (TFT), a thermal oxidation film is formed by oxidation of silicon film at 500.degree. to 700.degree. C. or an insulating film composed mainly of silicon oxide deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is formed so as to cover island-like crystalline silicon, and then the resulting film is annealed at 400.degree. to 700.degree. C., preferably 450.degree. to 650.degree. C. in a highly reactive atmosphere of nitrogen oxide which is photoexcited or photodecomposed by ultraviolet rays. The thus modified silicon oxide film is used as the gate insulating film.
