Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein CVD-Verfahren zur Randpassivierung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a CVD method for Edge passivation according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannte Verfahren zur Passivierung von Halbleiterbau­ elementen durch Materialabscheidung aus der Dampfphase (CVD-Verfahren) erfordern eine Aufheizung des gesamten Bauelements. In Thin Solid Films, 75 (1981), S. 125, Aufsatz von D. Josif et al. ist z.B. eine Aufheizung auf eine Temperatur im Bereich von 500° bis 650°C angegeben. Bei einem solchen bekannten Verfahren wird die gesamte Oberfläche eines Halbleiterbauelements beschichtet. Das bedeutet, daß an den Stellen, an denen keine Passivie­ rungsschicht erwünscht ist, diese nachträglich, z.B. durch Ätzen wieder entfernt werden muß.Known methods for passivating semiconductor devices elements through material separation from the vapor phase (CVD process) require heating of the whole Component. In Thin Solid Films, 75 (1981), p. 125, Review by D. Josif et al. is e.g. a heating up specified a temperature in the range of 500 ° to 650 ° C. In such a known method, the entire Surface of a semiconductor device coated. The means that in places where there is no passive layer is subsequently desired, e.g. must be removed again by etching.

Davon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren anzugeben, das diesen Nachteil nicht aufweist.Based on this, the present invention is the Task to specify a method that this Disadvantage does not have.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Passivierungsschicht gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst. Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.This task is done in a manufacturing process a passivation layer according to the preamble of Claim 1 solved by its characteristic features. Embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims specified.

Die im Kennzeichen angegebene Methode zur Materialab­ scheidung ist an sich seit Jahren als Laser-CVD-Verfah­ ren bekannt. Jedoch ist in keiner der hierzu bekanntge­ wordenen Veröffentlichungen eine Anregung zur Anwendung für die Randpassivierung gegeben.The method of material specified in the indicator Divorce has been a laser CVD process for years ren known. However, none of these are known publications a suggestion for the application given for edge passivation.

Bei der vorgeschlagenen Art der Materialabscheidung bleibt das Halbleiterbauelement kalt. Es tritt lediglich im Gasgemisch über der zu beschichtenden Oberfläche und direkt an der beschichteten Oberfläche eine lokale Tem­ peraturerhöhung ein. Dadurch unterbleibt auf vorteilhaf­ te Weise eine thermische Beeinflussung des Halbleiter­ bauelements während der Passivierungsbeschichtung.With the proposed type of material separation the semiconductor device remains cold. It just occurs in the gas mixture over the surface to be coated and a local temperature directly on the coated surface increase in temperature. This avoids advantageous te thermal influence of the semiconductor component during the passivation coating.

Das Verfahren wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Anordnungsbeispiels zur Durchführung des Verfahrens näher erläutert.The procedure is described below using one of the Drawing schematically illustrated arrangement example to carry out the method explained in more detail.

Die nicht maßstäbliche Zeichnung zeigt eine Reaktions­ kammer 1 mit einem Quarzfenster 2 und Öffnungen für ei­ nen Gaseinlaß 3 und einen Gasauslaß 4. In der Kammer 1 ist auf einem beweglichen Träger 5 ein Halbleiterbauele­ ment 6 angeordnet, dessen Rand 7 beschichtet werden soll durch Abscheidung von isolierendem Material aus einem Gasgemisch 8. Die Abscheidung wird ausgelöst durch Be­ strahlung mit Laserlicht 9 aus einer Laserlichtquelle 10. Das Laserlicht ist jeweils auf einen Punkt kurz über der Oberfläche fokusiert. Die Steuerung der Laserlicht­ quelle 10 und der Bewegung des Trägers 5 kann mit einem Steuer- und Regelgerät erfolgen, das einen Mikrocomputer enthält.The not to scale drawing shows a reaction chamber 1 with a quartz window 2 and openings for egg NEN gas inlet 3 and a gas outlet 4th In the chamber 1 , a semiconductor component 6 is arranged on a movable support 5 , the edge 7 of which is to be coated by deposition of insulating material from a gas mixture 8 . The deposition is triggered by radiation with laser light 9 from a laser light source 10 . The laser light is focused on a point just above the surface. The control of the laser light source 10 and the movement of the carrier 5 can be done with a control device that contains a microcomputer.

In die Reaktionskammer 1 wird ein Gasgemisch 8 aus z.B. SiH4+x × N2O gegeben. Das zu beschichtende Bauelement 6 ist nicht aufgeheizt. Durch Bestrahlung mit dem foku­ sierten Laserstrahl 9 wird das Gas über den zu beschich­ tenden Stellen aufgeheizt und dadurch eine Materialab­ scheidung ausgelöst. Es sind unterschiedliche Laser- CVD-Verfahren bekannt, die zur Randpassivierung benutzt werden können. Aus der bereits oben angegebenen Litera­ turstelle D. Josif et al. ist beispielsweise als Be­ schichtungsmaterial SIPOS (Semi-Insulating Polysilicon) bekannt, das besonders gut zur Randpassivierung geeignet ist. Aber auch Poly-Silizium und amorphes Silizium sind geeignete Materialien.A gas mixture 8 of, for example, SiH 4 + x × N 2 O is introduced into the reaction chamber 1 . The component 6 to be coated is not heated. By irradiation with the focussed laser beam 9 , the gas is heated up over the areas to be coated, thereby triggering a material separation. Different laser CVD methods are known which can be used for edge passivation. From the literature point D. Josif et al. is known for example as coating material SIPOS (Semi-Insulating Polysilicon), which is particularly well suited for edge passivation. However, polysilicon and amorphous silicon are also suitable materials.

Für die Abscheidung von amorphem Silizium aus SiH4+x × N₂O in der Dampfphase ist aus M. Hanabusa, A. Namiki and K. Yoshihara, "Laser-induced Vapor Dispo­ sition of Silicon", Appl. Phys. Lett. 35 (1979), Seite 626ff. ein Verfahren bekannt, bei dem eine Laserstrahl­ einwirkung senkrecht zum Halbleiterbauelement erfolgt. Aus R. Bilenchi, I. Gianinoni and M. Musci, "Hydrogenated amorphous silicon growth by CO2 laser photodissociation of silane", J. Appl. Phas. 53 (1982), Seite 6479ff. und M. Meunier, T. R. Gattuso, D. Adler and J. S. Haggerty, "Hydrogenated amorphous produced by laser induced chemi­ cal vapor deposition of silane", Appl. Phys. Lett. 43 (1983), Seite 273ff. sind ähnliche Verfahren bekannt, bei denen die Bestrahlung parallel zum Halbleiterbauele­ ment, d.h. parallel zu der zu beschichtenden Fläche er­ folgt. Einzelheiten zur Durchführung dieser Verfahren sind der jeweils angegebenen Literatur zu entnehmen. In der Zeichnung sind beide Möglichkeiten der Bestrahlung angegeben, indem zwei Laserlichtquellen 10 dargestellt sind, wovon jedoch nur eine zur Durchführung des Verfah­ rens benötigt wird.For the deposition of amorphous silicon from SiH 4 + x × N₂O in the vapor phase, M. Hanabusa, A. Namiki and K. Yoshihara, "Laser-induced Vapor Disposition of Silicon", Appl. Phys. Lett. 35 (1979), page 626ff. a method is known in which a laser beam is applied perpendicular to the semiconductor device. From R. Bilenchi, I. Gianinoni and M. Musci, "Hydrogenated amorphous silicon growth by CO 2 laser photodissociation of silane", J. Appl. Phas. 53 (1982), page 6479ff. and M. Meunier, TR Gattuso, D. Adler and JS Haggerty, "Hydrogenated amorphous produced by laser induced chemical vapor deposition of silane", Appl. Phys. Lett. 43 (1983), page 273ff. Similar methods are known in which the radiation is parallel to the semiconductor component, ie it follows the surface to be coated. Details of the implementation of these processes can be found in the literature given in each case. In the drawing, both possibilities of irradiation are indicated in that two laser light sources 10 are shown, of which only one is required to carry out the method.
