Definitions
- a silicon capacitor is known from European patent application EP 05 28 281.
- This comprises an n-doped silicon substrate, the surface of which is structured in a characteristic manner by electrochemical etching in a fluoride-containing, acidic electrolyte in which the substrate is connected as an anode.
- electrochemical etching hole structures are more or less regularly arranged on the surface of the substrate.
- the hole structures have an aspect ratio in the range of 1: 1000.
- the surface of the hole structures is provided with a dielectric layer and a conductive layer.
- Conductive layer, dielectric layer and silicon substrate form a capacitor in which specific capacities of up to 100 ⁇ FV / mm ⁇ are achieved due to the surface enlargement caused by the hole structures.
- it is proposed to provide an n + -doped region on the surface of the hole structures.
- Silicon capacitors are usually manufactured in silicon wafers. A bending of the silicon wafers is ascertained, which is associated with mechanical stresses by the n + -doped region on the surface of the hole structures, which are up to 300 ⁇ m deep. This bending of the silicon wafer leads to problems in further process steps, such as lithography, wafer thinning and separation, which are necessary for installing the silicon capacitor in a housing.
- the invention is based on the problem of specifying a further method for producing a silicon capacitor, in which bending of the silicon substrate is avoided and which can be used in a production process.
- a multiplicity of hole openings are produced in a main surface of an n-doped silicon substrate by electrochemical etching.
- the electrochemical etching is preferably carried out in a fluoride-containing, acidic electrolyte with which the main surface is in contact and between which and the silicon substrate a voltage is applied such that the silicon substrate is connected as an anode. A back of the silicon substrate opposite the main surface is illuminated.
- a conductive region is created along the surface of the hole openings and is provided with electrically active dopant.
- This is used as an electrically active dopant Context called dopant, which determines the conductivity of the conductive area.
- dopant which determines the conductivity of the conductive area.
- phosphorus, boron or arsenic is used as the electrically active doping substance.
- a layer doped with germanium is produced on the surface of the hole openings, through which the conductive region is doped with germanium.
- the conductive region is produced by diffusing germanium out of a layer doped with germanium.
- germanium diffuses to a depth of 0.2 to 0.5 ⁇ m in 4 to 25 hours.
- a diffusion length of 0.2 ⁇ m is achieved after 0.56 hours and a diffusion length of 0.5 ⁇ m after 3.5 hours.
- Such diffusion times are justifiable in a manufacturing process.
- the germanium-doped layer is preferably formed from silicate glass, which is deposited in a CVD deposition at atmospheric pressure (APCVD) using a process gas containing Ge (OCH3) 4 and Si (0C2H5) 4 .
- SiO2 a process gas containing Ge (OCH3) 4 and Si (0C2H5) 4 .
- Silicon glass doped with germanium and produced using these process gases and O3 is known from S. Fisher et al., Solid State Technology, Sept. 1993, pages 55 to 64. It has been proposed as an intermediate oxide. The possibility of using it as a diffusion source for germanium is not known from the literature.
- O2 or O3 is added during the deposition. The use of O2 means process simplification. When using O3, an improved edge coverage is achieved.
- germanium and the electrically active dopant are simultaneously diffuse into the surface of the hole openings in order to produce the conductive region.
- the diffusion length of the electrically active dopant is greater than that of germanium
- the electrically active dopant can also be introduced by gas phase diffusion.
- the germanium diffusion and the diffusion of the electrically active dopant several times.
- the layers used as the dopant source are removed and applied again.
- the layer doped with germanium is removed before a dielectric layer is applied to the surface of the conductive region and an electrically conductive layer is applied thereon.
- the conductive layer and the conductive region are each provided with a contact.
- the contacts can be arranged in the area of the main surface as well as on the main surface and the back.
- a silicon layer doped with geranium is grown on the surface of the hole openings by epitaxy.
- a germanium-containing compound in particular GeH4
- the layer doped with germanium is preferably grown to a thickness between 10 and 100 nm.
- the electrically active dopant is then by gas phase diffusion or outdiffusion from one with the introduced electrically active dopant layer.
- the conductive area is formed in the silicon layer grown in the epitaxy and the adjacent surface of the hole openings. The temperature and time for the diffusion of the electrically active dopant are chosen so that the diverging germanium profile is made to coincide with the profile of the electrically active dopant.
- the electrically active dopant is built into the lattice during the epitaxy.
- germanium and the electrically active dopant it is advantageous to epitaxially deposit another undoped silicon layer on the germanium-doped silicon layer before the electrically active dopant is driven in.
- the germanium-doped silicon layer and possibly the further silicon layer, which have been grown by epitaxy remain as part of the conductive region on the surface of the hole openings.
- the dielectric layer and the conductive layer are then applied to the surface of the conductive region.
- the germanium doping in the method according to the invention is intended to compensate for the mechanical stress in the conductive region caused by the doping with the electrically active dopant. Since the depth of the hole openings is up to 300 ⁇ m and the total thickness of silicon wafers conventionally used is around 600 ⁇ m, the mechanical bracing in the conductive area is associated with a noticeable bending of the wafer.
- the mechanical stresses are caused by the fact that the doping an electrically active dopant atom is installed at a substitutional lattice site in the silicon crystal, the covalent bond radius of which differs from that of the silicon atom.
- a phosphorus atom in the silicon crystal for example, has a 6 percent smaller covalent bond radius than a corresponding silicon atom, so that it causes a contraction of the crystal lattice. The higher the dopant concentration, the stronger this effect.
- Lattice distortion can lead to a high dislocation density. If a large number of silicon capacitors are produced in a silicon wafer, the wafer is bent. Since commonly used production systems, such as conventional lithography devices, are designed exclusively for flat substrates, it is in the
- the disruption of the lattice by the electrically active dopants is compensated for by additional doping with germanium.
- the dopant concentrations are adjusted to one another so that bending is avoided.
- a germanium concentration of 8 x 10 20 cm” 3 is required.
- a concentration of germanium of approximately 1.2 x 10 20 cm" 3 is sufficient.
- Germanium has the advantage that on the one hand it is electrically neutral, on the other hand it has a high solubility in silicon and that it has a larger covalent bond radius in the silicon crystal than the electrically active dopants boron and phosphorus commonly used for the production of silicon components.
- Figure 1 shows a silicon substrate with hole openings.
- FIG. 2 shows the silicon substrate after application of a germanium-doped layer and diffusion of germania.

- a space charge zone forms on the main surface 11. Since the field strength in the area of depressions in the main surface 11 is greater than outside of it, the minority charge carriers preferably move to these points. This leads to a structuring of the main surface 11. The deeper an initially small unevenness becomes due to the etching, the more minority charge carriers move there and the stronger the etching attack at this point.
- the hole openings 2 begin to grow from unevenness in the main surface 11, which are present in each surface with a statistical distribution.
- These unevenness can be produced, for example, using conventional photolithography.
