    摘要: In integrated circuit fabrication, a method is provided for simultaneously forming two regions of the same conductivity-type such as the base and isolation regions. In one embodiment, an epitaxial layer of one conductivity-type is formed on a substrate of opposite conductivity-type, after which dopant ions of the opposite conductivity-type are introduced into the epitaxial surface areas which are to provide the base and isolation regions, and in addition, the isolation regions are bombarded with non-dopant ions having a maximum atomic number of two, e.g., hydrogen or helium ion while the base regions are appropriately masked and remain umbombarded, said bombardment is carried out at temperatures below 300.degree. C, preferably room temperature. The bombardment is preferably carried out so that the non-dopant ions are implanted primarily in regions below the isolation regions. Next, the wafer is heated at a temperature at a range of from 600.degree. - 900.degree. C which is substantially below normal drive-in diffusion temperatures for unbombarded doped regions. The heating to be maintained for a period sufficient to drive-in diffuse the bombarded isolation regions through the epitaxial layer into contact with the substrate but is insufficient to drive-in the unbombarded base regions to such a depth.

    摘要: In the fabrication of integrated circuits, a method is provided for forming dielectrically isolated regions in a semiconductor substrate comprising forming over the semiconductor substrate surface an electrically insulating layer of dielectric material having a plurality of openings therethrough and etching to form recesses in the semiconductor substrate exposed in the openings. Then, aluminum is deposited over the substrate so that an aluminum layer is formed on said layer of dielectric material as well as in said recesses. Next, the aluminum in the recesses is selectively anodized to form aluminum oxide, and the remaining aluminum on said layer of dielectric material is removed either by selectively etching away the aluminum layer or by a "lift-off" technique wherein the insulating layer of dielectric material under the aluminum is etched away thereby "lifting-off" and removing the aluminum.

    摘要: A method for device fabrication disclosed is a self-aligned process. The device formed has small vertical as well as horizontal dimensions. The device region is surrounded by a deep oxide trench which has nearly vertical sidewalls. The deep trench extends from the epitaxial silicon surface through N+ subcollector region into the P substrate. The width of the deep trench is about 2 .mu.m to 3.0 .mu.m. A shallow oxide trench extending from the epitaxial silicon surface to the upper portion of the N+ subcollector separates the base and collector contact. The surface of the isolation regions and the silicon where the transistor is formed is coplanar. As shown in FIG. 1, the fabricated bipolar transistor has a mesa-type structure. The transistor base dimension is only slightly larger than the emitter. This small base area results in low collector-base capacitance which is a very important parameter in ultra-high performance integrated circuit devices. Contact to the transistor base in the disclosed structure is achieved by a thick heavily boron doped polysilicon layer which surrounds the emitter and makes lateral contact to the active base.

    摘要: Electrically active defects, i.e., current-carrying defects or leakage paths in silicon crystals, are detected by an anodization process. The process selectively etches the crystal surface only where the electrically active defects are located when the anodization parameters are properly selected. Selected surface portions of the silicon structure are exposed to a hydrofluoric acid solution which is maintained at a negative potential with respect to the silicon structure. When the potential difference is set to a proper value, etch pits are formed in the surface of the silicon only at those locations overlying electrically active defects which impact device yield. The defects are observed and counted to provide a basis to predict yield of desired semi-conductor devices to be formed later in the silicon structure.

    摘要: A method for device fabrication utilizing a self-aligned process. A combination of advanced semiconductor processing techniques including Deep Dielectric Isolation by reactive-ion etching, etching and refilling, planarizing with oxides and resists, and differential thermal oxidation are used to form devices having small vertical as well as horizontal dimensions. The device region is surrounded by a deep oxide trench which has nearly vertical sidewalls which extend from the epitaxial silicon surface through the N+ subcollector region into the P substrate. The width of the deep trench is about 2 .mu.m to 3 .mu.m. A shallow oxide trench extends from the epitaxial silicon surface to the upper portion of the N+ subcollector and separates the base and collector contact. The surface of the isolation regions and the silicon where the transistor is formed is coplanar. As shown in FIG. 1, the fabricated bipolar transistor has a mesa-type structure. The transistor base dimension is only slightly larger than the emitter. This small base area results in a low collector-base capacitance which is a very important parameter in ultra-high performance integrated circuit devices. Contact to the transistor base in the disclosed structure is achieved by a thick heavily boron doped polysilicon layer which is formed by an etch and refill process and which surrounds the emitter and makes lateral contact to the active base.

    摘要: A method for making wide, deep recessed oxide isolation trenches in silicon semiconductor substrates. A semi-conductor substrate is selectively etched to produce a spaced succession of narrow, shallow trenches separated by narrow silicon mesas. Silicon oxide is chemical-vapor-deposited on the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the etched structure to a thickness equalling the width of a desired silicon oxide mask. The mask is used for etching multiple deep trenches in the substrate, the trenches being separated by thin walls of silicon. The thickness of the walls is uniformly equal to and determined by the thickness of the deposited silicon oxide mask.The deposited silicon oxide is reactively ion etched away from the horizontal surfaces, leaving the oxide only on the sidewalls of the shallow trenches. The silicon is deeply etched, using the remaining oxide as a mask. Boron is ion implanted and the resulting structure is thermally oxidized sufficiently to completely oxidize the silicon under the deposited oxide mask and to oxidize the silicon surfaces at the bottoms of the trenches. The remaining trench volume is filled in with chemical-vapor-deposited silicon dioxide.
