摘要:
Disclosed here is a method of controlling a dose amount of dopant to be doped into object (1) to be processed in plasma doping. According to the method, the doping control is formed of the following processes: determining the temperature of object (1), the amount of ions having dopant in plasma that collide with object (1), and types of gases in plasma during doping; calculating a dose amount by neutral gas according to the temperature of object (1), and a dose amount by ions from the determined amount of ions containing dopant that collide with object (1); and carrying out doping so that the sum of the dose amount by neutral gas and the dose amount by ions equal to a predetermined dose amount.

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.

A top plate, disposed on an upper portion of a vacuum container so as to face a substrate-placing area of a sample electrode, is provided with an impurity-containing film that contains an impurity, and is formed on a top plate peripheral edge portion area that is a face exposable to a plasma generated in the vacuum container, and is located on a peripheral edge of a top plate center portion area that faces the center portion of the substrate-placing area.

A semiconductor region having an upper surface and a side surface is formed on a substrate. A first impurity region is formed in an upper portion of the semiconductor region. A second impurity region is formed in a side portion of the semiconductor region. The resistivity of the second impurity region is substantially equal to or smaller than that of the first impurity region.

An impurity region is formed in a surface of a substrate by exposing the substrate to a plasma generated from a gas containing an impurity in a vacuum chamber. In this process, a plasma doping condition is set with respect to a dose of the impurity to be introduced into the substrate so that a first one of doses in a central portion and in a peripheral portion of the substrate is greater than a second one of the doses during an initial period of doping, with the second dose becoming greater than the first dose thereafter.

A method for introducing impurities includes a step for forming an amorphous layer at a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a step for forming a shallow impurity-introducing layer at the semiconductor substrate which has been made amorphous, and an apparatus used therefore. Particularly, the step for forming the amorphous layer is a step for irradiating plasma to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the step for forming the shallow impurity-introducing layer is a step for introducing impurities into the surface which has been made amorphous.

Plasma doping is performed by exposing a support substrate 11 made of a semiconductor to a plasma generated from a mixed gas of boron 51 which is an impurity and hydrogen 52 and helium 53 which are diluents so as to implant the boron 51 into the support substrate 11. Then, a preliminary heating step is performed by heating the support substrate 11 so that doses of the hydrogen 52 and the helium 53 are smaller than that of the boron 51 in the support substrate 11 by utilizing a difference between a thermal diffusion coefficient of the boron 51 in the support substrate 11 and those of the hydrogen 52 and the helium 53. Then, a laser heating step is performed for electrically activating the boron 51 implanted into the support substrate 11 using a laser.
摘要:
On an upper wall of a vacuum container opposing a sample electrode, a plasma-invasion prevention-and-electron beam introducing hole is installed which is communicated with an electron beam introducing tube, and is used for introducing an electron beam toward a substrate in the vacuum container, as well as for preventing invasion of plasma into the electron beam introducing tube. In this structure, supposing that the Debye length of the plasma is set to λd and that a thickness of the sheath is set to Sd, the electron beam introducing hole has a diameter D satisfying a following equation: D≦2λd+2Sd.
