摘要: A plasma doping method that can control a dose precisely is realized. In-plane uniformity of the dose is improved. It has been found that, if a bias is applied by irradiating B2H6/He plasma onto a silicon substrate, there is a time at which a dose of boron is made substantially uniform, and the saturation time is comparatively long and ease to stably use, compared with a time at which repeatability of an apparatus control can be secured. The invention has been finalized focusing on the result. That is, if plasma irradiation starts, a dose is initially increased, but a time at which the dose is made substantially uniform without depending on a time variation is continued. In addition, if the time is further increased, the dose is decreased. The dose can be accurately controlled through a process window of the time at which the dose is made substantially uniform without depending on the time variation.

摘要: There are provided a plasma doping method and an apparatus which have excellent reproducibility of the concentration of impurities implanted into the surfaces of samples. In a vacuum container, in a state where gas is ejected toward a substrate placed on a sample electrode through gas ejection holes provided in a counter electrode, gas is exhausted from the vacuum container through a turbo molecular pump as an exhaust device, and the inside of the vacuum container is maintained at a predetermined pressure through a pressure adjustment valve, the distance between the counter electrode and the sample electrode is set to be sufficiently small with respect to the area of the counter electrode to prevent plasma from being diffused outward, and capacitive-coupled plasma is generated between the counter electrode and the sample electrode to perform plasma doping. The gas used herein is a gas with a low concentration which contains impurities such as diborane or phosphine.

摘要: A plasma doping method and a plasma doping apparatus, having a superior in-plane uniformity of an amorphous layer formed on a sample surface, are provided.In the plasma doping method by which plasma is generated within a vacuum chamber, and impurity ions contained in the plasma are caused to collide with the surface of the sample so as to quality-change the surface of the sample into an amorphous state thereof, a plasma irradiation time is adjusted in order to improve an in-plane uniformity. If the plasma irradiation time becomes excessively short, then a fluctuation of the plasma is transferred to depths of an amorphous layer formed on a silicon substrate, so that the in-plane uniformity is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the irradiation time becomes excessively long, then an effect for sputtering the surface of the silicon substrate by using the plasma becomes dominant, then the in-plane uniformity is deteriorated. While a proper plasma irradiation time present in an intermediate time between the long plasma irradiation time and the short plasma irradiation time is found out, during which the in-plane uniformity becomes better, a plasma doping process is carried out within the intermediate time.

摘要: A plasma doping method, even though a plasma doping treatment is repeated, can make a dose from a film to a silicon substrate uniform for each time. The method includes preparing a vacuum chamber having a film containing an impurity formed on an inner wall thereof such that, when the film is attacked by ions in plasma, the amount of an impurity to be doped into the surface of a sample by sputtering is not changed even though the plasma containing the impurity ions is repeatedly generated in the vacuum chamber; placing the sample on the sample electrode; and irradiating the plasma containing the impurity ions so as to implant the impurity ions into the sample, and doping the impurity into the sample by sputtering from the film containing the impurity fixed to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber.

摘要: It is an object to prevent functions expected originally from being unexhibited when impurities to be introduced into a solid sample are mixed with each other, and to implement plasma doping with high precision. In order to distinguish impurities which may be mixed from impurities which should not be mixed, first of all, an impurity introducing mechanism of a core is first distinguished. In order to avoid a mixture of the impurities in very small amounts, a mechanism for delivering a semiconductor substrate to be treated and a mechanism for removing a resin material to be formed on the semiconductor substrate are used exclusively.

摘要: Before a plasma doping process is performed, there is generated a plasma of a gas containing an element belonging to the same group in the periodic table as the primary element of a silicon substrate 9, e.g., a monosilane gas, in a vacuum chamber 1. Thus, the inner wall of the vacuum chamber 1 is covered with a silicon-containing film. Then, a plasma doping process is performed on the silicon substrate 9.
