摘要:
An impurity is ion-implanted with a silicon nitride film formed on a silicon substrate as a mask film to form a source/drain layer of a MOS transistor. Heat treatment for activating the impurity is done as it is without removing the silicon nitride film to thereby produce heat treatment-based stress between the silicon nitride film and the silicon substrate.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. In the method, a substrate is prepared, which includes a buried oxide film and a SiGe layer formed on the buried oxide film. Then, heat treatment is performed on the substrate at a temperature equal to or lower than a first temperature, to form a protective oxide film on a surface of the SiGe layer. Next, the substrate having the protective oxide film is heated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to a second temperature higher than the first temperature. Further, heat treatment is performed on the substrate thus heated, in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature equal to or higher than the second temperature, to form oxide the SiGe layer, make the SiGe layer thinner and increasing Ge concentration in the SiGe layer, thus forming a SiGe layer having the increased Ge concentration.

In a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, a semiconductor substrate ion-implanted with an ion species is heated and thereby raised in temperature under vacuum. At this time, a partial pressure of a gas released from the semiconductor substrate is measured by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Further, a change in partial pressure with time is observed and compared with a pre-measured release characteristic, whereby the temperature of the semiconductor substrate is corrected.

In order to prevent the occurrence of corrosion due to the sliding of a relatively wide aluminum conductive layer (12) such as a power source conductive layer or a ground conductive layer, formed on a semiconductor substrate (11), breakage of a lower conductive layer due to the sliding of an upper aluminum conductive layer (12) in case of a multilayer interconnection, and the creation of voids in the lower aluminum conductive layer due to the moisture beneath the relatively wide metal conductive layer in case of a multi layer interconnection etc., the conductive layer structure is constructed so that the conductive layer (12) relatively great in width is divided into several conductive layer portions and so that the width of each of the divided conductive layer portions is in a range of 10 .mu.m to 40 .mu.m.

A heat treatment for diffusing impurity ions implanted into a silicon layer is performed at a heat treatment temperature which is less than an aggregation temperature of the silicon layer. A thermal aggregation of the silicon layer can be inhibited, thereby reducing a silicon deficiency of the silicon layer.
摘要:
A device isolation region made up of a silicon oxide film, which is perfectly isolated up to the direction of the thickness of an SOI silicon layer, and an activation region of the SOI silicon layer, whose only ends are locally thinned, are formed on an SOI substrate. A source diffusion layer and a drain diffusion layer of a MOS field effect transistor in the activation region are provided so that according to the silicidization of the SOI silicon layer subsequent to the formation of a high melting-point metal, a Schottky junction is formed only at each end of the activation region and a PN junction is formed at a portion other than each end thereof.
