摘要:
Gases for film formation are introduced from a plurality of holes provided at a gas nozzle into a processing chamber of a batch-type CVD film-forming apparatus to cause a turbulence of the gases within the processing chamber. In the state where the chamber is kept at a pressure within an atmospheric and quasi-atmospheric pressure region, a silicon-germanium film is epitaxially grown on a semiconductor wafer placed within the processing chamber. Subsequently, a strained silicon film is epitaxially grown on the silicon-germanium film. Thereafter, a semiconductor element is formed in the semiconductor wafer on which the silicon-germanium film and the strained silicon film have been formed, respectively.

With the invention, it is possible to avoid deterioration in short-channel characteristics, caused by a silicon germanium layer coming into contact with the channel of a strained SOI transistor. Further, it is possible to fabricate a double-gate type of strained SOI transistor or to implement mixedly mounting the strained SOI transistor and a conventional silicon or SOI transistor on the same wafer. According to the invention, for example, a strained silicon layer is grown on a strain-relaxed silicon germanium layer, and subsequently, portions of the silicon germanium layer are removed, thereby constituting a channel layer in the strained silicon layer.

An electronic apparatus employs a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film structure formed of an insulating substrate and a plurality of polycrystalline layers laminated on the insulating substrate. A plurality of transistors are formed at the surface of the polycrystalline semiconductor thin film structure, each transistor being formed in a region of one of a plurality of crystal grains disseminated on the surface of the polycrystalline layers. A number of crystal grains in each of the polycrystalline layers is gradually reduced from a lower layer to an upper layer.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a thin film of an oxide superconductor represented by formula Sr.sub.1-x Nd.sub.x CuO.sub.2 on a substrate. The oxide superconductor has a tetragonal crystal structure, the lattice constant in a-axis falling within a range of between 0.385 nm and 0.410 nm, and the lattice constant in c-axis being an integer number of times as much as a level falling within a range of between 0.310 nm and 0.350 nm. The method includes the steps of forming by epitaxial growth a film of a crystal having lattice constants close to those of the crystal of said oxide superconductor on a substrate, and forming a thin film of the oxide superconductor of a tetragonal crystal structure represented by general formula (I) by a thin film-forming technique.

The semiconductor integrated circuit (1) has a memory (4) and a logic circuit (5), which are mixedly palletized on a silicon substrate (2). The memory includes a partially-depleted type nMOS (6) having an SOI structure and formed on UTB (3). The partially-depleted type nMOS has a backgate region (14) under UTB, to which a voltage can be applied independently of a corresponding gate terminal. The logic circuit includes an nMOS (7) and a pMOS (8), and both are of a fully-depleted type, formed on UTB and have an SOI structure. The fully-depleted type nMOS and pMOS have backgate regions (14, 22) under respective UTBs, to which voltages can be applied independently of the corresponding gate terminals

The present invention provides an apparatus having a semiconductor device including a plurality of transistors formed on respective single crystal silicon regions of enlarged grain size. On a polycrystalline silicon layer, projections at regular intervals are formed by using anisotropic etching and a photomask. The tips of projections are composed of single crystal silicon of a specific crystal orientation selectively left by the anisotropic etching, which is a candidate for nuclei of amorphous silicon to be deposited thereon. By iterating the above process a plurality of times, and by gradually enlarging the pitch, span, size and height of projections, the size of the crystal grains of silicon at the surface may be enlarged to the extent required. Thereby, silicon crystal grains of large grain size with the crystal orientation aligned may be formed at controllable positions.
