    摘要: Methods of preparing improved semiconductor substrates having gate oxide layers formed thereon, and use of such substrates in fabricating improved semiconductor devices, are disclosed. The methods include a first step of performing a cleaning process for removing a natural oxide layer formed on a semiconductor substrate and also for removing an oxide layer generated by the removal of the natural oxide layer; a second step of executing a hydrogen annealing process to form a hydrogen passivation layer and for further reducing a surface roughness of the semiconductor substrate completed in the cleaning process; a third step of forming a gate oxide layer thereon; a fourth step of performing a nitridation process on the gate oxide layer to prevent the semiconductor substrate from a permeation of ions during a subsequent gate electrode formation step; and, a fifth step of performing a subsequent thermal process to stabilize a surface of the gate oxide layer, thereby improving a defect rate of the device caused in forming the gate oxide layer.

    摘要: A multi-layered structure of a semiconductor device includes a substrate, and a heteroepitaxial layer having a low dislocation defect density on the substrate. The heteroepitaxial layer consists of a main epitaxial layer and at least one intermediate epitaxial layer sandwished in the main epitaxial layer. At their interface, the heteroepitaxial layer, i.e., the bottom portion of the main epitaxial layer, and the substrate have different lattice constants. Also, the intermediate epitaxial layer has a different lattice constant from that of the portions of the main epitaxial layer contiguous to the intermediate epitaxial layer. The intermediate epitaxial layer also has a thickness smaller than the net thickness of the main epitaxial layer such that the intermediate epitaxial layer absorbs the strain in the heteroepitaxial layer. Thus, it is possible to obtain a multi-layered structure comprising an epitaxial layer that is relatively thin and has a low dislocation defect density.
