Abstract:
A method of manufacturing semiconductor devices in a silicon MCZ (magnetic Czochralski) semiconductor body is proposed. The method includes processing the silicon MCZ semiconductor body by an oxidation process at temperatures exceeding 1150° C. and below 1220° C. Thereafter, platinum (Pt) is introduced into the silicon MCZ semiconductor body.
Abstract:
Chalcogen atoms are implanted into a single crystalline semiconductor substrate. At a density of interstitial oxygen of at least 5E16 cm−3 thermal donors containing oxygen are generated at crystal defects in the semiconductor substrate. Then the semiconductor substrate is heated up to a temperature above a deactivation temperature at which the thermal donors become inactive, wherein a portion of electrically active chalcogen atoms is increased.
