    摘要: While depositing a III-V compound semiconductor layer from a vapor, carbon is added to group III and V elements to produce a p type conductivity region in the depositing semiconductor layer. Then, a small amount of n type dopant is added to the group III and V elements together with the carbon to produce an n type conductivity region in the depositing semiconductor layer. A sharp and precisely controlled doping profile is produced in the vicinity of a p-n junction, resulting in a semiconductor device having good initial performance and high reliability.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first mixed crystal semiconductor layer of AlAs and InAs; applying a solution containing a material easily combining with fluorine to the surface of the first mixed crystal semiconductor layer exposed to the atmosphere so that the material combines with fluorine that sticks to the surface of the first mixed crystal semiconductor layer; and annealing the first mixed crystal semiconductor layer in a vacuum. In this method, since the fluorine on the surface of the first mixed crystal semiconductor layer exposed to the atmosphere combines with the material included in the solution and is removed together with the material, a first mixed crystal semiconductor layer having no fluorine is produced. Therefore, unwanted infiltration of fluorine into the first mixed crystal semiconductor layer is avoided, resulting in a highly reliable semiconductor device with desired characteristics.

    摘要: A semiconductor wafer includes a notch or a hole used in preparing an orientation flat on the wafer. The notch in the wafer includes a side that is perpendicular to the surfaces of the wafer and aligned along a cleavage plane of the wafer for forming the orientation flat by cleaving. A hole in a wafer preferably includes an axis aligned along the cleaving plane. A sharp, non-rounded cleavage is formed by preparing the notch or hole after the completion of any etching processes or other steps that may round the edges of the flat. The sharp edges aid in achieving a precision alignment using the orientation flat.
