摘要:
Nano structures are formed in a glass layer on a substrate by defining a first structure in the glass layer using a low energy radiation exposure, and then defining a second structure in the glass layer for the dynamic layer using a higher energy radiation exposure. The structures are then developed in TMAH. The structures include at least sensors and nano-channels. Densification is performed by converting the structures to SiO2. Further structures are formed by using different energy exposures. One structure is a channel having a porous wall prior to development.

Silicon oxide films which are good as gate insulation films are formed by subjecting a silicon oxide film which has been formed on an active layer comprising a silicon film by means of a PVD method or CVD method to a heat treatment at 300-700° C. in a dinitrogen monoxide atmosphere, or in an NH3 or N2H4 atmosphere, while irradiating with ultraviolet light, reducing the hydrogen and carbon contents in the silicon oxide film and introducing nitrogen into the boundary with the silicon film in particular. Furthermore, silicon oxide films which are good as gate insulating films have been formed by subjecting silicon oxide films which have been formed on an active layer comprising a silicon film by means of a PVD method or CVD method to a heat treatment at 300-700° C. in an N2O atmosphere (or hydrogen nitride atmosphere) while irradiating with ultraviolet light, and then carrying out a heat treatment at 300-700° C. in a hydrogen nitride atmosphere (N2O atmosphere), and reducing the amount of hydrogen and carbon in the silicon oxide film and introducing nitrogen into the boundary with the silicon film in particular.

An impurity doped SiC substrate 1 and SiC thin film 2 are irradiated with a laser light 5 having a wavelength longer than such a wavelength that a band edge absorption of a semiconductor is caused. The wavelength of the laser light 5 may be such a wavelength that an absorption is caused by a vibration by the bond of an impurity element and an element constituting the semiconductor, for example, a wavelength of 9 &mgr;m to 11 &mgr;m. Specifically, in the case where Al is doped in SiC, the wavelength of the laser light 5 may be within the range of 9.5 &mgr;m to 10 &mgr;m.

摘要:
A heat spreader adapted to be insert-molded with resin on a surface of a circuit board on which a semiconductor chip is mounted so that the heat spreader covers the surface of the circuit board including an upper surface of the semiconductor chip over substantially a same area as that covered with molded resin when insert-molded with resin. The heat spreader has a main-portion which defines a larger gap with respect to the surface of the circuit board when insert-molded with resin and a sub-portion which defines a smaller gap with respect to the surface of the circuit board when insert-molded with resin. The sub-portion is embedded in the mold resin when insert-molded with resin so that the heat spreader is strongly adhered to the resin.

A process for the formation of a cap layer for semiconductors with a low degree of contamination wherein the cap layer is easily formed on the surface of a semiconductor, and binding force thereof with the surface of the semiconductor is strong and stabilized, besides only the cap layer is selectively removed easily, comprises the steps of introducing nitrogen atom into a surface of a semiconductor; combining a component element of the semiconductor in the vicinity of the surface of the semiconductor into which the nitrogen atom has been introduced with the nitrogen atom to form a nitride compound being a compound of the component element of the semiconductor and the nitrogen atom; and utilizing the nitride compound as a cap layer for the surface of the semiconductor.
