    摘要: A method and structure for fabricating a semiconductor wafer that may be used to monitor the temperature distribution across a wafer surface. A substrate that includes a semiconductor material and a first dopant, has an amorphous layer formed from a top portion of the substrate, and the amorphous layer is doped with a second dopant of polarity opposite to a polarity of the first dopant. Heating of the wafer at 450 to 625 degree C. recrystallizes a portion of the amorphous layer that is adjacent to the substrate at a recrystallization rate that depends on a local temperature on the wafer surface. The measured spatial distribution of sheet resistance may be utilized to readjust the spatial distribution of heat input to another wafer in order to achieve a more uniform temperature across the other wafer's surface.

    摘要: A method, and associated structure, for fabricating a semiconductor wafer that may be used to monitor the temperature distribution across the wafer surface. Given a substrate that includes a semiconductor material and a first dopant, an amorphous layer is formed from a top portion of the substrate, and the amorphous layer is doped with a second dopant of polarity opposite to a polarity of the first dopant. The amorphous layer may be formed by directing an ionic species, such as ionic germanium, into the top portion of the substrate. Alternatively, particular second dopants, such as arsenic, may serve to also amorphize the top portion of the substrate. Next, the wafer is heated to a temperature in a range of 450 to 625° C. The heating of the wafer recrystallizes a portion of the amorphous layer that is adjacent to the substrate at a recrystallization rate that depends on a local temperature on the wafer surface. After being heated, the wafer is removed and a sheet resistance is measured at points on the wafer surface. Since the local sheet resistance is a function of the local thickness of the recrystallized layer, a spatial distribution of sheet resistance over the wafer surface reflects a distribution of wafer temperature across the wafer surface during the heating of the wafer. The measured spatial distribution of sheet resistance may be utilized to readjust the spatial distribution of heat input to another wafer in order to achieve a more uniform temperature across the other wafer's surface.
