    摘要: In the formation of a thin film on the surface of a semiconductor crystal substrate by using a horizontal type vapor phase growth apparatus, the distribution of the thickness and resistivity of the thin film can be properly obtained by adjusting the concentration distribution of the raw material gas in the mixture gas in the width direction of the reaction vessel over the substrate surface. And in the reaction vessel, carrier gas is supplied from the position close to the transfer port of the substrate, and raw material gas is supplied from the position located in the downstream side of a vortex generation region caused by the flow of the carrier gas.

    摘要: A method of performing chemical vapor deposition which produces semiconductor crystalline thin films having small transition widths. The method involves the use of a cold-wall type reaction chamber that is equipped with a gas inlet at one end and a gas outlet at the other end and a semiconductor substrate support which supports a semiconductor substrate so that a main surface thereof is horizontal. A reactant gas is caused to flow horizontally through the reaction chamber to effect the growing of a crystalline thin film on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is arranged within the reactor chamber within a distance W which is measured from a leading edge of the semiconductor substrate at a most upstream position along a direction toward the gas outlet where W indicates an internal width of the reaction chamber. The semiconductor substrate is also in a location having a W/G ratio of 15 or greater, where G represents a distance between the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and a ceiling of the reaction chamber.

    摘要: A silicon wafer is held in an airtight chamber by a silicon wafer holder. The silicon wafer holder is cooled by a cooler. High purity nitric acid is stored in a storage container disposed in the airtight container. The storage container is heated by a heater, thereby producing nitric acid gas. The nitric acid gas is condensed on the surface of the silicon wafer so that a thin film is formed. Thus, the surface of the silicon wafer is rendered hydrophilic. Thereafter, high purity hydrofluoric acid is dropped on high purity nitric acid in the storage container by an acid dropper, thereby producing hydrofluoric acid gas. By introducing the hydrofluoric acid gas into the thin film formed on the surface of the silicon wafer, an etching is performed while maintaining the surface of the silicon wafer in a good condition.
