摘要:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having an LDD structure, source gases for generating plural types of impurity ions exhibiting different molecular weights and different projected ranges in a target during impurity implantation are supplied to a plasma space, ionized, accelerated with a voltage, and implanted in a semiconductor region on the target substrate. In the case of manufacturing a top-gate transistor, a gate electrode on the semiconductor region has a sufficient thickness to serve as a mask. In the case of manufacturing a bottom-gate transistor, a mask and a resistor are used. An implantation angle is set to an optimum value as desired. Thereafter, the impurity is activated as desired. Thus, the semiconductor device having the LDD structure is manufactured by a single step of impurity implantation.

Cluster particles including a plurality of molecules or atoms are prepared by a gas cluster method, are accelerated, and are then irradiated onto a diamond in a low pressure atmosphere, so that the unevenness surfaces of the diamond are smoothed with no damages in the diamond. The cluster particles are prepared by the steps of forming, ionizing, mass-separating, and accelerating cluster particles. The cluster particles with a certain energy are irradiated onto the surface of the diamond. Irradiated cluster particles collide with the surface of the diamond, and then break apart into each molecule or atom while changing momentum (direction and speed) or energy. Thus, the surface of the diamond is efficiently smoothed and etched.

A plasma processing apparatus performs various plasma processings of a substrate having a large area in a semiconductor element manufacturing process, by using highly excited plasma generated at a low pressure under the application of RF power and a magnetic field. In this plasma processing apparatus, a gas is introduced into a vacuum chamber to be used as an ion source, RF power is applied to two electrodes having respective surfaces opposite to each other through the gas to thereby generate the plasma in the vacuum chamber, and a magnetic field is applied to the plasma from a magnetic field source arranged at a predetermined position. The intensity of the applied magnetic field is set to be 1.5 times or more the magnetic field intensity which causes electron cyclotron resonance to occur at the frequency f of the applied RF power. Particularly, when the frequency f of the RF power is 13.56 MHz, the magnetic field intensity is selected to be in the range from 25 gausses to 35 gausses.

A large area semiconductor element can be manufactured with high productivity, which has low electric resistance at the boundary face of a metal and a semiconductor and has excellent characteristics and reliability. A manufacturing apparatus comprises an ion irradiation means for simultaneously irradiating hydrogen ions and ions containing an element serving as a dopant of a semiconductor to a semiconductor film or a substrate in an atmosphere under reduced pressure, and a film forming means which forms a thin film or a heat treatment means which conducts a heat treatment without exposing a sample to an air. When a sample having an a-Si:H thin film is brought into a sample preparation chamber by opening a gate valve, the chamber is exhausted to have the inside pressure of 10.sup.2 to 10.sup.-3 Pa. Then, the sample is forwarded to an ion irradiation chamber from the sample preparation chamber via an intermediate chamber of which the pressure is maintained in the range of 10.sup.-3 to 10.sup.-7 Pa, and ions such as phosphous are irradiated. After the ion irradiation, a gate valve is opened to transfer the sample to the intermediate chamber, and then a gate valve is opened to forward the sample to a deposition chamber. Subsequently, Ar gas is let in to the deposition chamber and a metal film of Al/Ti is deposited by a sputtering method. After the deposition, the sample is forwarded to a sample carry-out chamber via the intermediate chamber.

A method of fabricating a thin film transistor on an insulating substrate such as quartz or glass without defect in the channel region in semiconductor thin layer, or at the boundary between the semiconductor thin layer and gate insulation layer, but with high mobility and high integration. For that purpose, ions produced by the discharge-decomposition of a hydride gas including dopant are accelerated and implanted into the semiconductor thin layer, wherein the protecting insulation layer for protection of the channel region is of a thickness larger than the projected range of the hydrogen ion.
