摘要:
To provide a method for manufacturing an SOI substrate provided with a semiconductor layer which can be used practically even when a substrate having a low heat-resistant temperature, such as a glass substrate or the like is used. The semiconductor layer is transferred to a supporting substrate by the steps of irradiating a semiconductor wafer with ions from one surface to form a damaged layer; forming an insulating layer over one surface of the semiconductor wafer; attaching one surface of the supporting substrate to the insulating layer formed over the semiconductor wafer and performing heat treatment to bond the supporting substrate to the semiconductor wafer; and performing separation at the damaged layer into the semiconductor wafer and the supporting substrate. The damaged layer remaining partially over the semiconductor layer is removed by wet etching and a surface of the semiconductor layer is irradiated with a laser beam.

To provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, which prevents impurities from entering an SOI substrate. A source gas including one or plural kinds selected from a hydrogen gas, a helium gas, or halogen gas are excited to generate ions, and the ions are added to a bonding substrate to thereby form a fragile layer in the bonding substrate. Then, a region of the bonding substrate that is on and near the surface thereof, i.e., a region ranging from a shallower position than the fragile layer to the surface is removed by etching, polishing, or the like. Next, after attaching the bonding substrate to a base substrate, the bonding substrate is separated at the fragile layer to thereby form a semiconductor film over the base substrate. After forming the semiconductor film over the base substrate, a semiconductor element is formed using the semiconductor film.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an SOI substrate, to improve planarity of a surface of a single crystal semiconductor layer after separation by favorably separating a single crystal semiconductor substrate even in the case where a non-mass-separation type ion irradiation method is used, and to improve planarity of a surface of a single crystal semiconductor layer after separation as well as to improve throughput. The method includes the steps of irradiating a single crystal semiconductor substrate with accelerated ions by an ion doping method while the single crystal semiconductor substrate is cooled to form an embrittled region in the single crystal semiconductor substrate; bonding the single crystal semiconductor substrate and a base substrate with an insulating layer interposed therebetween; and separating the single crystal semiconductor substrate along the embrittled region to form a single crystal semiconductor layer over the base substrate with the insulating layer interposed therebetween.

This invention provides a semiconductor device having high operation performance and high reliability. An LDD region 707 overlapping with a gate wiring is arranged in an n-channel TFT 802 forming a driving circuit, and a TFT structure highly resistant to hot carrier injection is achieved. LDD regions 717, 718, 719 and 720 not overlapping with a gate wiring are arranged in an n-channel TFT 804 forming a pixel unit. As a result, a TFT structure having a small OFF current value is achieved. In this instance, an element belonging to the Group 15 of the Periodic Table exists in a higher concentration in the LDD region 707 than in the LDD regions 717, 718, 719 and 720.

The method includes steps of adding first ions to a predetermined depth from a main surface of a semiconductor substrate by irradiation of the semiconductor substrate with a planar, linear, or rectangular ion beam, so that a separation layer is formed; adding second ions to part of the separation layer formed in the semiconductor substrate; disposing the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and a main surface of a base substrate to face each other in order to bond a surface of an insulating film and the base substrate; and cleaving the semiconductor substrate using the separation layer as a cleavage plane, so that a single crystal semiconductor layer is formed over the base substrate. The mass number of the second ions is the same as or larger than that of the first ions.
摘要:
A method is demonstrated to manufacture SOI substrates with high throughput while resources can be effectively used. The present invention is characterized by the feature in which the following process A and process B are repeated. The process A includes irradiation of a surface of a semiconductor wafer with cluster ions to form a separation layer in the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer and a substrate having an insulating surface are then overlapped with each other and bonded, which is followed by thermal treatment to separate the semiconductor wafer at or around the separation layer. A separation wafer and an SOT substrate which has a crystalline semiconductor layer over the substrate having the insulating surface are simultaneously obtained by the process A. The process B includes treatment of the separation wafer for reusing, which allows the separation wafer to be successively subjected to the process A.

A groove is formed in a part of a semiconductor substrate to form a semiconductor substrate that has a projecting portion, and a bonding layer is formed to cover the projecting portion. In addition, before the bonding layer is formed, a portion of the semiconductor substrate to be the projecting portion is irradiated with accelerated ions to form a brittle layer. After the bonding layer and the supporting substrate are bonded together, heat treatment for separation of the semiconductor substrate is performed to provide a semiconductor layer over the supporting substrate. The semiconductor layer is selectively etched, and a semiconductor element is formed and a semiconductor device is manufactured.
