Abstract
A review of 300mm high-resistivity Czochralski silicon (Cz-Si) wafers after optimized thermal treatments, is presented. The challenge of resistivity monitoring due to the thermal donors phenomenon is highlighted. A new protocol based on the combination of several metrology techniques is proposed. Such a methodology is crucial as oxygen-related defects called thermal donors (TD) formed during 450°C anneals are electrically active across various substrates: n-type used typically in insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) and p-type used for example in radiofrequency (RF)-based technologies. We show that such TDs result in resistivity loss, with different behavior depending on substrate doping, and confirm the detrimental impact of these TDs on devices performances.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing addresses the challenging problems of manufacturing complex microelectronic components, especially very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Manufacturing these products requires precision micropatterning, precise control of materials properties, ultraclean work environments, and complex interactions of chemical, physical, electrical and mechanical processes.
