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.

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.

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 desired portion of a refractory metal silicide film is oxidized by anodic oxidation to form oxides of silicon and of metal. The oxides formed are completely removed by etching. By so doing, the desired portion of the silicide film can be etched selectively without badly damaging an underlying silicon substrate or silicon dioxide film. Therefore, it is possible to easily affect patterning of the silicide film used for electrodes of MOS transistors and bipolar transistors as well as resistors and interconnections.
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:
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:
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:
With a view to preventing the oxidation of a metal film at the time of light oxidation treatment after gate patterning and at the same time to making it possible to control the reproducibility of oxide film formation and homogeneity of oxide film thickness at gate side-wall end portions, in a gate processing step using a poly-metal, a gate electrode is formed by patterning a gate electrode material which has been deposited over a semiconductor wafer 1A having a gate oxide film formed thereon and has a poly-metal structure and then, the principal surface of the semiconductor wafer 1A heated to a predetermined temperature or vicinity thereof is supplied with a hydrogen gas which contains water at a low concentration, the water having been formed from hydrogen and oxygen by a catalytic action, to selectively oxidize the principal surface of the semiconductor wafer 1A, whereby the profile of the side-wall end portions of the gate electrode is improved.
