摘要:
An impurity solid including boron as impurity and a solid sample to which boron is introduced are held in a vacuum chamber. Ar gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber to generate plasma composed of the Ar gas. A voltage allowing the impurity solid to serve as a cathode for the plasma is applied to the impurity solid and the impurity solid is sputtered by ions in the plasma, thereby mixing boron included in the impurity solid into the plasma composed of Ar gas. A voltage allowing the solid sample to serve as a cathode for the plasma is applied to the solid sample, and boron mixed into the plasma is introduced to the surface portion of the solid sample.

In order to dope impurities selectively at low temperature where the resist can be used, the invention presents an impurity doping method capable of performing not only cleaning process but also doping process at low temperature where the resist can be used. First, the active sample surface of a solid sample is exposed by irradiation with plasma, and without active irradiation with plasma, the gas or vapor containing object impurities is contacted with the active sample surface of the solid sample to dope the impurities. As a result, the impurity doping process at the time of formation of C-MOS structure or the like can be executed at low temperature so as not to spoil the function of the resist.

A semiconductor substrate and an impurity solid that comprises of impurity to be introduced to a diode formation region are held in a vacuum chamber. Inert or reactive gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber to generate plasma composed of the inert or reactive gas. A first voltage allowing the impurity solid to serve as a cathode for the plasma is applied to the said impurity solid and the said impurity solid is sputtered by ions in the plasma, thereby mixing the impurity within the said impurity solid into the plasma. A second voltage allowing a semiconductor substrate to serve as a cathode for the plasma is applied to the said semiconductor substrate, thereby directly introducing the impurity within the plasma to the surface portion of the diode formation region of the said semiconductor substrate, generating a impurity layer.

摘要:
A plasma doping method and apparatus in which a prescribed gas is introduced into a vacuum container while being exhausted by a turbomolecular pump as an exhaust apparatus. The pressure in the vacuum container is kept at a prescribed value by a pressure regulating valve. High-frequency electric power of 13.56 MHz is supplied to a coil disposed close to a dielectric window which is opposed to a sample electrode, whereby induction-coupled plasma is generated in the vacuum container. Every time a prescribed number of samples have been processed, a dummy sample is subjected to plasma doping and then to heating. The conditions for processing of a sample are controlled so that the measurement value of the surface sheet resistance becomes equal to a prescribed value, whereby the controllability of the impurity concentration can be increased.

The pressure in the vacuum container 1 is kept at a prescribed value by a pressure regulating valve 4. High-frequency electric power of 13.56 MHz is supplied from a high-frequency power source 5 to a coil 8 disposed close to a dielectric window 7 which is opposed to a sample electrode 6, whereby induction-coupled plasma is generated in the vacuum container 1. A high-frequency power source 10 for supplying high-frequency electric power to the sample electrode 6 is provided. Every time a prescribed number of samples have been processed, a dummy sample is subjected to plasma doping and then to heating. The conditions for processing of a sample are controlled so that the measurement value of the surface sheet resistance becomes equal to a prescribed value, whereby the controllability of the impurity concentration can be increased.
摘要:
A method of introducing an impurity and an apparatus for introducing the impurity forms an impurity layer easily in a shallower profile. Component devices manufactured taking advantage of these method or apparatus are also disclosed. When introducing a material to a solid substance which has an oxidized film or other film sticking at the surface, the present method and apparatus first removes the oxidized film and other film using at least one means selected from among the group consisting of a means for irradiating the surface of solid substance with plasma, a means for irradiating the surface of solid substance with gas and a means for dipping the surface of solid substance in a reductive liquid; and then, attaches or introduces a certain desired particle. The way of attaching, or introducing, a particle is bringing a particle-containing gas to make contact to the surface, which surface has been made to be free of the oxidized film and other film. Thus, the particle is attached or introduced to the surface, or the vicinity, of solid substance. The component devices are those manufactured taking advantage of the above method or apparatus.
