    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: In a method and an appratus for a thin film growth on a semiconductor crystal substrate, impurities and contaminants absorbed on the inside wall of the reaction vessel are very harmful because these impurities and contaminants will deteriorate the quality of the thin film. A method and an apparatus by which the quantity of these impurities and contaminants absorbed on the inside wall of the reaction vessel can be restrained and removed easily are disclosed in this invention, wherein a semiconductor crystal substrate is mounted in the reaction vessel, and the wall of the reation vessel is cooled forcibly by a coolant while the substrate is under heating procedure to grow a thin film on the substrate by supplying the raw material gas into the reaction vessel. And the temperature of the wall of the reaction vessel during the procedure except the thin film growth is kept higher temperature than the temprature of the wall of the reaction vessel during the thin film growth procedure.

    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 for microscopically smoothing a surface of a wafer made of silicon single crystal having a low resistivity. In the method, a native oxide film grown on a surface of a wafer having polished by an ordinary mirror polishing process is removed at a temperature of less than 100.degree. C. with use of a mixture gas of HF and H.sub.2, and then an organic substance deposited thereon is removed at a temperature of less than 800.degree. C. with use of a mixture gas of HCl and H.sub.2. Re-growth of an oxide film is suppressed in a consistent H.sub.2 atmosphere, during which the wafer is substantially not varied in its surface roughness. Then the wafer is thermally treated in an H.sub.2 gas atmosphere at a temperature of not less than 800.degree. C. and less than 1000.degree. C. A process of etching the silicon single crystal substrate and a process of depositing silicon atoms caused by decomposition of a silane compound generated are competitively carried out to thereby soften the microscopic rough surface of the wafer and to improve a smoothness over the smoothness of the mirror-polished surface. Since all process temperatures are set to be less than 1000.degree. C., vaporization of impurities in the wafer can be suppressed and its low resistivity can be secured.

    摘要: Single crystal silicon islands in a dielectric-separation substrate are separated completely and finished in a uniform thickness by preparatorily denuding a single crystal silicon substrate of a warpage suffered to occur therein.This dielectric-separation substrate is produced by a method which comprises forming a thermal oxide film on a single crystal silicon substrate having grooves incised in advance therein, then forming an irreversibly thermally shrinkable film on the rear surface of said single crystal silicon substrate prior to depositing a polycrystalline silicon thereon, then depositing a polycrystalline silicon on said single crystal silicon substrate, and thereafter grinding said single crystal silicon substrate in conjunction with said irreversibly thermally shrinkable film.
