摘要:
A region containing a high concentration of impurity and a desired region adjacent thereto are fused by irradiation with a laser beam, to diffuse the impurity in the lateral direction into the desired region and to render the desired region a low resistance.Since this method can execute only the lateral diffusion of the impurity without affecting other portions, it is very useful for forming a high breakdown voltage MIS-FET, a resistor etc.
摘要:
An amorphous or polycrystalline film which continuously covers the exposed surface of a single crystal substrate and an insulating film, is deposited in ultra-high vacuum and then heat-treated. The film is subjected to solid phase epitaxial growth at a temperature far lower than in prior-art methods, whereby a single crystal film is formed.
摘要:
The whole surface of a polycrystalline or amorphous semiconductor film deposited so as to continuously cover the surface of a single-crystal substrate and an insulating film is irradiated with a laser beam or electron beam, thereby to selectively melt only those parts of the polycrystalline or amorphous semiconductor film which overlie the insulating film. Thus, a single-crystal semiconductor film is formed only the insular insulating film formed on the single-crystal substrate.
摘要:
A polycrystalline silicon film is implanted with an impurity in large amounts and is heated to be annealed, whereupon it is irradiated with a laser beam to be annealed.Thus, a polycrystalline silicon film of very low resistivity consisting of a second layer whose activated impurity concentration is equal to or below a solid solubility and a first layer whose activated impurity concentration is above the solid solubility is formed.
摘要:
Of an amorphous Si film, a region to be formed into a lowly doped region such as the channel region of an MOS transistor is covered with a mask and an uncovered region is doped with an impurity. After this, the amorphous Si film is annealed and turned to signal crystal through solid phase epitaxial growth, and the mask itself is used as the electrode of a semiconductor device. By this impurity doping, a large-sized single-crystal Si film can be formed, and the impurity doping can be conducted in self-alignment with the electrode formation to produce a highly integrated semiconductor circuit.
摘要:
On a semiconductor substrate surface, a plurality of polycrystalline or amorphous silicon films and a plurality of insulator films which are substantially transparent to an irradiating energy beam and each of which has an opening are formed so as to be alternately stacked. Thereafter, the plurality of polycrystalline or amorphous silicon films are turned into a single crystal by irradiating them with the energy beam.
摘要:
First conductivity type impurity ions are implanted at a predetermined depth all over a region where impurity ions are to be implanted, and second conductivity type impurity ions are implanted in a dose about twice as large as that of the first conductivity type impurity ions at substantially the same implantation depth of the first conductivity type impurity ions, followed by annealing.In this way, mutually contiguous first and second conductivity type regions having substantially the same impurity concentrations and located at substantially the same depths are formed.
摘要:
Ions having a high energy is implanted using a mask of a stacked film consisting of a film formed from an amorphous material and a film formed from a metal having a large mass number.In this way, penetration of ions can be prohibited by a mask having a far smaller thickness than that of the conventional mask. Thus ions having a high energy can be implanted with a very high accuracy.

摘要:
A solid-state imaging device is provided with picture elements which are each composed of a photoelectric conversion element and a MOS transistor as a switching element and which are arranged in the form of a matrix. A scanning mechanism sequentially scans the picture elements to sequentially read out photoelectric conversion signals. To eliminate smear and reduce parasitic capacitance, a high-impurity-concentration diffusion layer serving as an output terminal of the MOS transistor constituting the picture element is formed on an insulator layer for isolating the elements.
