    摘要: In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, first, a trench is formed on a semiconductor substrate by anisotropic etching, and a reaction product is produced and deposited on the inner wall of the trench during the anisotropic etching. Then, isotropic etching is performed to round a corner of a bottom portion of the trench without removing the reaction product. The isotropic etching can round the corner of the trench without etching the side wall of the trench that is covered by the reaction product.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a trench gate type IGBT element, which can sufficiently round off a corner at a bottom of a trench with restricting silicon from being excessively etched. A trench is formed at a surface of a P+-type monocrystalline silicon substrate by conducting an anisotropic etching (STEP 1). A corner portion at a bottom of the trench is formed to a concave shape surface by conducting a concave etching (STEP 2). The concave etching etches the silicon substrate so that a diameter of the trench is gradually reduced as the etching advances. After that, the corner portion at a bottom of the trench is rounded off by conducting an isotropic etching (STEP 3). Since the corner portion is chamfered, a radius of curvature of the corner portion of the bottom of the trench can be increased even if an amount of the etching using the isotropic etching in the STEP 3 is small.

    摘要: After performing an etching process with respect to one substrate, the substrate is taken out from an etching chamber. Then, a dummy substrate is disposed in the etching chamber and a cleaning process is performed. The cleaning process includes a cleaning step for etching reaction products produced during the etching process to be removed, a seasoning step for adjusting the atmosphere within the etching chamber and the temperature of the substrate, and a purge step for removing suspended foreign materials without generating plasma. By performing the cleaning process, the successive etching process can be performed without generating any black silicon on the substrate, thereby attaining a high production yield.

    摘要: A process for dry etching a silicon substrate, in which a mask exposing a region of the surface of the silicon substrate is formed, and the exposed region is dry etched. The dry etching is performed with a gas mixture including chlorine or a chlorine-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas, and a fluorine-containing gas in which a ratio of a flow rate of oxygen gas to a flow rate of chlorine gas, O.sub.2 /Cl.sub.2, is selected to be from 0.6 to 3. The gas mixture may also contain a fluorine-containing gas and helium. Preferably, the gas mixture excludes carbon-containing gases. The dry etching process allows for an increased etch rate, as well as a high etch selectivity compared to that of SiO.sub.2 gas. The trench formed in the substrate by this process can be made of a larger depth with high reproducibility and good configuration. The sidewall profile angle of the trench is maintained slightly tapered, with a sidewall profile angle of approximately 90 degrees. Also, by mixing HBr gas into the gas mixture, it is possible to better control the formation of the trench. Thus, this process makes it possible to form, in a silicon substrate, a regularly configured and very deep trench with high accuracy and high etch rate.

    摘要: After a CrSiN film and a TiW film are formed on a substrate through an intermediate insulating layer, a mask pattern is formed on the TiW film. Then a two-step dry etching treatment is performed to etch the TiW film and the CrSiN film into a specific shape. Specifically, first the TiW film is selectively etched under conditions including a large content of fluorine radicals. Then the CrSiN film is selectively etched under conditions including a large content of oxygen radicals. Accordingly, a thin film resistor can be formed with high accuracy with respect to the mask pattern.

    摘要: A trench-gate type transistor has a gate insulating film formed on an inner wall of a trench. The gate insulating film is composed of a first portion disposed on a side wall portion of the trench and a second portion disposed on upper and bottom portions of the trench. The first portion is composed of a first oxide film, a nitride film, and a second oxide film. The second portion is composed of only an oxide film and has a thickness thicker than that of the first portion. Accordingly, electric field concentration on upper and lower corner portions of the trench can be mitigated, and a decrease in withstand voltage at that portions can be prevented.

    摘要: After an insulating layer made of BPSG is formed on a diffusion layer, a contact hole is formed to expose the diffusion layer. Then, a first aluminum layer is formed in the contact hole. Then, first and second TEOS layers are formed. Thereafter, a thin film resistor is formed on the second TEOS layer by photo-lithography and etching treatments. In this process, the other parts are covered with the second TEOS layer to prevent being damaged. As a result, occurrence of a leak current at the diffusion layer and the like can be prevented. Further, a third TEOS layer is formed on the thin film resistor, and then a second aluminum layer is formed to be electrically connected to the thin film resistor through a contact hole by an ECR dry etching treatment. In this etching treatment, the thin film resistor is not damaged due to the third TEOS layer.
