In a tape player configured to wind a tape pulled out of a cassette onto a rotary head to play the tape, a tension mechanism includes a mode member to control the position of a tension control member according to a selected tape mode so as to establish relative contact between a tension member and a tape under a constant pressure in a play mode and separate them in a stop mode.

A thermal cleaning of a substrate that has been subjected to wet cleaning is carried out under a high vacuum atmosphere to remove an oxide film remaining on the substrate. Thereafter, a thermal cleaning is carried out under a hydrogen atmosphere to remove contamination such as carbon or the like. At this time, the oxide film has already been removed and therefore contamination is effectively removed by a relatively low temperature and short duration thermal cleaning. Thus, problems such as the degradation of the profile of the impurity concentration in the impurity diffusion layer which has been formed over the substrate are prevented.

An Si/SiGe layer including an Si buffer layer, an SiGe spacer layer, a graded SiGe layer and an Si cap layer is epitaxially grown in a region corresponding to a collector opening while a polycrystalline layer is deposited on the upper surface of a nitride film, and side surfaces of an oxide film and the nitride film. In this case, the Si buffer layer is formed first and then other layers such as the SiGe spacer layer are formed, thereby ensuring non-selective epitaxial growth. Then, a polycrystalline layer is deposited over the nitride film.

In the method for fabricating a semiconductor device of the present invention, a collector layer of a first conductivity type is formed in a region of a semiconductor substrate sandwiched by device isolation. A collector opening is formed through a first insulating layer deposited on the semiconductor substrate so that the range of the collector opening covers the collector layer and part of the device isolation. A semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type as an external base is formed on a portion of the semiconductor substrate located inside the collector opening, while junction leak prevention layers of the same conductivity type as the external base are formed in the semiconductor substrate. Thus, the active region is narrower than the collector opening reducing the transistor area, while minimizing junction leak.

Si and SiGeC layers are formed in an NMOS transistor on a Si substrate. A carrier accumulation layer is formed with the use of a discontinuous portion of a conduction band present at the heterointerface between the SiGeC and Si layers. Electrons travel in this carrier accumulation layer serving as a channel. In the SiGeC layer, the electron mobility is greater than in silicon, thus increasing the NMOS transistor in operational speed. In a PMOS transistor, a channel in which positive holes travel, is formed with the use of a discontinuous portion of a valence band at the interface between the SiGe and Si layers. In the SiGe layer, too, the positive hole mobility is greater than in the Si layer, thus increasing the PMOS transistor in operational speed. There can be provided a semiconductor device having field-effect transistors having channels lessened in crystal defect.
