摘要:
A barrier layer that meets three requirements, “withstand well against etching and protect a semiconductor film from an etchant as an etching stopper”, “allow impurities to move in itself during heat treatment for gettering”, and “have excellent reproducibility”, is formed and used to getter impurities contained in a semiconductor film. The barrier layer is a silicon oxide film and the ratio of a sub-oxide contained in the barrier layer is 18% or higher.
摘要:
A spin addition method for catalyst elements is simple and very important technique, because the minimum amount of a catalyst element necessary for crystallization can be easily added by controlling the catalyst element concentration within a catalyst element solution, but there is a problem in that uniformity in the amount of added catalyst element within a substrate is poor. The non-uniformity in the amount of added catalyst element within the substrate is thought to influence fluctuation in crystallinity of a crystalline semiconductor film that has undergone thermal crystallization, and exert a bad influence on the electrical characteristics of TFTs finally structured by the crystalline semiconductor film. The present invention solves this problem with the aforementioned conventional technique. If the spin rotational acceleration speed is set low during a period moving from a dripping of the catalyst element solution process to a high velocity spin drying process in a catalyst element spin addition step, then it becomes clear that the non-uniformity of the amount of added catalyst element within the substrate is improved. The above stated problems are therefore solved by applying a spin addition process with a low spin rotational acceleration to a method of manufacturing a crystalline semiconductor film.

The invention is directed to a countermeasure against a local amorphous region observed as an eddy pattern on a thermally crystallized crystalline silicon film. The local amorphous region is thought to result from a deficiently formed ultra-thin silicon oxide film by ozone water treatment, which causes a local phenomenon of repelling a catalyst element solution during spin coating. This inhibits a uniform addition of a catalyst element. A relationship between an ozone concentration of ozone water and a wait time between the ozone water treatment and the subsequent step of adding the catalyst element is deduced and used for planning the countermeasure against the local amorphous region.
