A tungsten film is deposited on a substrate by a CVD process using a source gas comprising WF.sub.6, a silane group compound such as SiH.sub.4, Si.sub.2 H.sub.6, Si.sub.3 H.sub.8 or Si.sub.4 H.sub.10, and hydrogen fluoride or fluorine, at a lower temperature than in the prior art. The resultant tungsten film has low sheet resistance and good step coverage. The tungsten film may be selectively deposited.

A bipolar transistor includes a base region made of silicon crystal doped with a first impurity to a first level so as to establish a first carrier concentration in the base region and an emitter region made of silicon crystal doped with a second impurity to a second level substantially larger than the first level by a predetermined factor so as to establish a second carrier concentration in the emitter region, in which the second impurity exceeds the solubility limit of the second impurity in silicon crystal. The first and second levels are chosen in such a range that a difference in the carrier concentrations between the emitter region and the base region decreases substantially with increasing impurity level in the base region.

The present invention is a method for fabricating bipolar-MOS devices having n-MOSs, p-MOSs and bipolar transistors, each fabricated in a respective silicon single crystal layer grown in openings formed in a field oxide layer covering a silicon substrate. Over the field oxide layer, having openings where the active devices should be fabricated, is applied an epitaxial growth of silicon. By this operation, single crystal layers are formed in the openings, and a polysilicon layer is formed on the field oxide layer. The polysilicon layer is patterned to form the source and drain contact electrodes of the FETs and the base and collector contact electrodes of the bipolar transistors simultaneously. To the active areas, contact electrodes for the p-MOS, and base contact electrodes of the npn bipolar transistors are simultaneously implanted with p type impurities by ion implantation. The active areas, contact electrodes for the n-MOS, and the collector contact electrodes of the npn bipolar transistors are simultaneously implanted with n type impurities by ion implantation. For the pnp transistors, an inverse process of the above is applied. By such a method, the process for fabricating the bipolar-MOS device is simplified, and the operation of the device is improved.

A single crystalline silicon carbide (.beta.-SiC) layer having a thickness greater than 1 .mu.m is grown on a silicon substrate by the following method of the present invention. The silicon substrate is provided in a reactor chamber, and the reactor chamber is evacuated and maintained at a reduced atmospheric pressure during the growing processes. While flowing a mixed gas containing acetylene into the reactor chamber, the substrate is heated up at a temperature range from 800.degree. to 1000.degree. C., preferable in a range from 810.degree. to 850.degree. C., whereby a buffer layer of carbonized silicon having a thickness of 60 to 100 .ANG. is grown on the substrate. Thereafter, the flowing gas is changed to a mixed gas containing hydrocarbon and chlorosilane, and the substrate temperature is raised to a temperature from 850.degree. to 950.degree. C. In this process, a single crystalline .beta.-SiC layer can be grown on the buffer layer, and a thickness of a few .mu.m for the grown .beta.-SiC layer can be expected.
摘要:
A chemical vapor deposition apparatus for ejecting reaction gas over an object on which a layer of the reaction gas is to be deposited has an ejecting head which develops a uniformly distributed laminated flow of the reaction gas along its inner surface. The ejecting head is formed from an inverted conical housing portion and a circular perforated plate covering the open end thereof. An ejecting member protrudes into a top end of the head and ejects the gas into the space inside the head in predetermined directions. The housing encloses the ejecting member and directs the gas ejected from the ejecting member to flow downward along the inner surface thereof in a laminated state. The laminated flow of gas continues onto the perforated plate, on which it flows centripetally along the inner surface thereof, being ejected evenly downward from the plate through holes in the plate. As a result, a laminated flow of homogeneous reaction gas is ejected toward the object, growing a chemical vapor deposition layer of high quality over the object.
