It is described in detail above based on two embodiments of the invention, below by the note of the phosphorus diffusion method to this technique
Meaning point carries out some explanations:
In diffusion technique, the mode of the logical phosphorus source gas of the similar pulsed in points of 6 sections 3 periods is taken, is formed
Effect be that similar pulse phosphorus impurities distribution is formed in silicon chip surface.Since every time only has 5 minutes, in order at 5 points
Embodied in clock phosphorus impurities in silicon chip surface distribution effect, it is necessary to improve diffusion temperature to 950 degrees Celsius or more than
It is some.In addition, always high phosphorus source gas is followed by a low-phosphorous source gas in 6 sections of diffusions, as a comparison case, if its sequence handed over
Be changed to first lead to low-phosphorous source gas be followed by high phosphorus source gas, then last effect is ideal without the former, in experimental data, the latter's
Square resistance deviates under different depth up to 20% or more, and the former is within 10%, wherein reason may with spread for the first time
When silicon chip surface have some oxidations impurity it is related, for the first time diffusion select high flow capacity can offset these unfavorable factors.Due to
Using the diffusion way in 6 sections of 3 periods, in promoting technique, need for the temperature in furnace to be reduced to 800 degrees Celsius or with
Under, distributing equilibrium of the concentration of phosphorus impurities in silicon chip surface in progradation improves the uniformity of square resistance.Therefore,
Design through the invention, phosphorus gettering when can improve diffusion improve the uniformity of phosphorus doping area square resistance, and cost is not
Height can be completed with existing equipment.
