    摘要: In a charged-particle-beam lithographic system, charge accumulation on the workpiece during alignment or writing can cause significant pattern placement errors. A film (16) formed directly under the resist layer (56) to be patterned is utilized as a charge-conducting medium during lithography. The pattern delineated in the resist layer (56) is transferred into the film (16) and subsequently into an underlying layer (20). The film (16) is highly compatible with standard lithographic and etching processes used to fabricate LSI and VLSI circuits.

    摘要: A method of depositing doped silicon dioxide layers in the fabrication of semiconductor devices has been found. This method entails the reaction of a mixture of silane, nitrous oxide and a source of a dopant, e.g., phosphine or diborane. The reaction is performed at relatively high temperature, typically between 800 and 900 degrees C., and excellent step coverage is obtained. Further, the pinhole problems previously associated with high temperature techniques are avoided. Lower dopant concentrations, e.g., below 6%, are also practical.

    摘要: Layers of controllably dopable amorphous silicon and germanium can be produced by means of low pressure chemical vapor deposition, at a reaction temperature between about 450.degree. C. and about 630.degree. C., for Si, and between about 350.degree. C. and about 400.degree. C. for Ge, in an atmosphere comprising a Si-yielding or Ge-yielding precursor such as SiH.sub.4 or GeI.sub.4, at a pressure between about 0.05 Torr and about 0.7 Torr, preferably between about 0.2 and 0.4 Torr. For undoped Si and P-doped Si, the preferred temperature range is from about 550.degree. C. to about 630.degree. C., for B-doped Si, it is from about 480.degree. C. to about 540.degree. C. The material produced has a density in excess of 0.9 of the corresponding crystalline density, and contains less than 1 atomic percent of hydrogen. An advantageous doping method is addition of dopant-forming precursor, e.g., PH.sub.3 or B.sub.2 H.sub.6, to the atmosphere. The material produced can be transformed into high quality crystalline material, and has many device applications in amorphous form, e.g., in solar cells, vidicon tubes, photocopying, and in integrated circuits, either as a conductor or nonconductor. The layers produced show conformal step coverage.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods that result in substantial improvement of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) device manufacture. We have discovered that carbon can be advantageously used as a wetting agent in the melting-recrystallization (MR) method of producing SOI wafers. We have also found that contacting the wafer (typically subsequent to the formation thereon of a poly-Si layer on a SiO.sub.2 layer but prior to the completion of formation of a SiO.sub.2 cap layer on the poly-Si layer) with an atmosphere that comprises a wetting agent-containing molecular species (e.g., CH.sub.4, NH.sub.3), with the wafer at an appropriate elevated (e.g., 500.degree.-900.degree. C.) temperature, can reliably result in recrystallized Si films of high quality. Furthermore, we have discovered the existence of a previously unknown parameter regime (low thermal gradient across the resolidification front, typically no more than about 4.degree. C./mm) for the MR process that can result in a highly perfect (.chi.min of 3%, subboundary spacing of about 50 .mu.m, misalignment across subboundaries of the order of 0.1.degree.) resolidified Si layer. Devices can be fabricated directly in this layer, or the layer can be used as seed substrate for the growth of a "thick" epitaxial Si layer of the type useful for the fabrication of high voltage semiconductor devices.
