A semiconductor substrate is provided in which an alignment mark is formed that can be used for an alignment even after the formation of an impurity diffused layer by the planarization of an epitaxial film. A trench is formed in an alignment region of an N+-type substrate. This trench is used to leave voids after the formation of an N−-type layer. Then, the voids formed in the N+-type substrate can be used as an alignment mark. Thus, such a semiconductor substrate can be used to provide an alignment in the subsequent step of manufacturing the semiconductor apparatus. Thus, the respective components constituting the semiconductor apparatus can be formed at desired positions accurately.

A semiconductor substrate is provided in which an alignment mark is formed that can be used for an aligment even after the formation of an impurity diffused layer by the planarization of an epitaxial film.A trench 11 is formed in an alignment region of an N+-type substrate 1. This trench 11 is used to leave voids 3 after the formation of an N−-type layer 2. Then, the voids 3 formed in the N+-type substrate 1 can be used as an alignment mark. Thus, such a semiconductor substrate can be used to provide an alignment in the subsequent step of manufacturing the semiconductor apparatus. Thus, the respective components constituting the semiconductor apparatus can be formed at desired positions accurately.

A semiconductor wafer includes a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor layer, and an oxide layer. The semiconductor layer is disposed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate and has a crystal structure similar to a crystal structure of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor layer includes an element section and a scribe section. The scribe section is disposed to divide the element section into a plurality of portions and is configurated to be used as a cutting allowance for dicing. Each of the portions includes a column structure in which columns having different conductivity types are arranged alternately. The oxide layer is disposed on a surface of the scribe section to be exposed to an outside of the semiconductor device.

In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention, a portion of a first epitaxial layer formed in a trench in a silicon substrate is removed by vapor phase etching using a halogenated compound or hydrogen. In this removing process, the portion of the first epitaxial layer is removed at a predetermined temperature higher than that during epitaxial growth of the first epitaxial layer and at a predetermined pressure higher than that during epitaxial growth of the first epitaxial layer. Therefore, stress that would otherwise be concentrated at a bottom portion of the trench is relaxed because rearrangement of the silicon atoms increases.

A trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate through a mask composed of a silicon oxide film formed on the semiconductor substrate. Then, an edge portion at an opening portion of the mask is etched so that the width of the mask opening width is greater than the width of the trench. After that, the inner surface of the trench is smoothed by thermal treatment around at 1000° C. in non-oxidizing or non-nitriding atmosphere under low pressure. Then, the trench is filled with an epitaxial film. After that, the epitaxial film is polished to complete the substrate.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor layer. The semiconductor substrate has a main surface that is an Si{100} surface. The substrate has a trench in the main surface. The semiconductor layer is located on surfaces defining the trench to have common crystallographic planes with the semiconductor substrate. The trench is defined by a bottom surface, two long sidewall surfaces that face each other, and two short sidewall surfaces that face each other. The bottom surface and the long sidewall surfaces are Si{100} surfaces.

A resistivity of an epitaxial layer in a trench is changed in a stepwise manner by reducing a quantity of an impurity diffused into the epitaxial layer in the trench from a semiconductor wafer in a stepwise manner, thereby suppressing an influence of auto-doping from the semiconductor wafer.An epitaxial layer 17 is grown in a trench 16 of a semiconductor wafer 10 having a trench structure by gradually reducing a temperature in a temperature in the range of 400 to 1150° C. by a vapor growth method while supplying a silane gas as a raw material gas, thereby filling the epitaxial layer 17 in the trench 16.
