1. A METHOD OF MAKING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: (A) FORMING ON A SURFACE OF A SUBRATE OF SINGLE CRYSTALLINE SILICON A THIN BARRIER LAYER OF SINGLE CRYSTALLINE P TYPE CONDUCTIVITY SILICON WITH THE FREE CARRIER CONCENTRATION BEING GREATER THAN 5 X 10**19 CM.-3, (B) FORMING ON SAID BARRIER LAYER A REGION OF SINGLE CRYSTALLINE SILICON, SAID REGION BEING OF A CONDUCTIVITY TYPE OR TYPES REQUIRED BY THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE BEING FORMED, AND (C) REMOVING SAID SUBSTRATE BY ETCHING WITH A SOLUTION OF POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE AND 1-PROPANOL.
摘要:
An iridium, platinum, or osmium silicide-silicon Schottky barrier is made by a novel method carried out at room temperature. First, an HF solution is applied to a cleaned surface of n-type silicon to remove any oxides thereon, and then a solution of HCl and a metal salt of iridium, platinum, or osmium is added to the HF solution to react with the silicon to form the metal silicide. An iridium silicide-silicon Schottky barrier has a barrier height of 0.93 + OR - 0.03 electron volt, one of the highest barrier heights reported to date.
