摘要:
This invention provides a solid-state imaging device which enables its cell area to be reduced while maintaining a light receiving area. First, a plurality of isolation areas are formed in a semiconductor substrate. Then, p-type well is formed by implanting p-type impurity into the interior organization of an active area surrounded by the isolation areas. Next, by using ion implantation method, a charge accumulating area, which is a n-type semiconductor area, is formed deep in the p-type well. Consequently, photo diode is formed in a deep portion apart from the surface of the semiconductor substrate. After that, an electric transferring MIS transistor is formed above and apart from the charge accumulating area, so that the photo diode and the MIS transistor are formed in a vertical structure.

In a semiconductor device manufacturing process using a low-dielectric-constant insulation film as an interlayer insulation film, a stress exerted on wiring layers and interlayer insulation films is reduced. In a semiconductor device in which a plurality of buried wiring layers are formed in the interlayer insulation films each formed of a low- dielectric-constant insulation film lower in mechanical strength than a silicone oxide film formed by, for example, a CVD method, a first layer of wiring, on a lower layer of which a low-dielectric-constant insulation film is not disposed, serves as a bonding pad, and bump electrodes are formed on the wiring so as to become higher than a position where the uppermost buried wiring is formed.
摘要:
A manufacturing method of semiconductor device capable of suppressing or preventing formation of a dissolution region of composition atoms such as a pit in a semiconductor wafer. After oxide film on a semiconductor wafer is removed by dipping plural pieces of the semiconductor wafer accommodated in a carrier into chemical liquid containing fluoro acid, chemical liquid adhering to the semiconductor wafer is washed out of the semiconductor wafer by rinse processing using de-ionized water. At least in the rinse processing of this wet processing, light is projected to the semiconductor wafer from a light source provided on a wet etching apparatus. Adjusting electromotive force caused by battery reaction at a pn junction of the semiconductor wafer by adjusting the state of the light L enables generation of a pit in the semiconductor wafer.

In a semiconductor manufacturing process such as the CMP process with the large ratio of manual work, the automation is promoted in order to achieve the rationalization and the manpower reduction, the improvement of the processing ability, the reduction of the investment amount, and the improvement of the indirect operation efficiency. By just downloading the process recipe of the product wafer from the host computer to the CMP apparatus in the CMP process, the dummy wafer is processed under the predetermined process condition before processing the product wafer. In this manner, the unmanned operation can be achieved. In addition, the measurement data of the film thickness measuring device mounted to the unmanned CMP apparatus is transmitted together with such process data as the polishing time from the CMP apparatus to the host computer. By doing so, the recipe condition of the CMP apparatus can be changed based on the latest data, and the process condition of the subsequent process is used in the feedforward manner based on the film thickness measurement data. In this manner, it is possible to eliminate the measurement process in the subsequent process.

In semiconductor devices, a semiconductor device is provided which is high in reliability while suppressing changes in characteristics such as threshold voltages. In a semiconductor device which has a gate dielectric film above a semiconductor substrate and also has above the gate dielectric film a gate electrode film made of silicon germanium chosen as its main constituent material, or alternatively in a semiconductor device which has beneath the gate dielectric film a channel made of silicon as its main constituent material and which has below the channel a channel underlayer film made of silicon germanium as its main constituent material, a specifically chosen dopant, such as cobalt (Co) or carbon (C) or nitrogen (N), is added to the gate electrode and the channel underlayer film, for use as the unit for suppressing diffusion of germanium in the gate electrode or in the channel underlayer film.
摘要:
By-products inside a furnace body of a CVD film forming apparatus after gas cleaning is performed in the furnace body are provided from being generated. The gas cleaning is performed in the furnace body by a plasma of a gas containing a halogen system gas and an Ar gas in an atmosphere in which the temperature of a heater disposed in the furnace body is approximately 500null C. or lower. Thereafter, a rise of the temperature of the heater is started. While the temperature of the heater is maintained constant, a film forming gas is introduced into the furnace body during a time period before the raised temperature reaches a temperature at which radicals or ions of a halogen system element are activated. Thereby, thin films are formed on the inner wall of the furnace body and the surfaces of members including the heater in the furnace body
