Abstract
In a closed tube diffusion process a source (12) of a gettering agent comprising a non-metallic chlorine compound is disposed within a sealed quartz tube (10) together with a source (14) of a suitable doping agent and wafers (20) of a semiconductor material which are to be doped. The quartz tube (10) is then disposed within a diffusion furnace and the gettering of impurities is carried out during the diffusion. The gettering source (12) may comprise a sealed quartz capillary tube which cracks to allow the gettering compound to contact the wafers when the tube (10) is placed in the furnace. <IMAGE>

Description
S i 1 9
The present invention relates generally to power semiconductors and more specifically to processes for making, power semiconductor devices as for example, transistors, rectifiers and thyristors.
It is well known to use hydrogen chloride, trichloroethylene and trichloroethane for lifetime gettering during open tube diffusion. The gettering agent, in the form of a gas, is passed through the open diffusion tube after the final diffusion.
It is the principal object of the present invention to reduce contamination of the semiconductor.
The invention resides broadly in a process for producing high power semiconductor devices by gettering impurities during closed tube diffusion of wafers of semiconductor 15 material which comprises disposing in a tube wafers of a semiconductor material, a source of doping material and a non-metallic chlorine gettering compound, forming a vacuum in said tube and after sealing the latter disposing the tube in a diffusion furnace at a predetermined temperature 20 for a predetermined time, removing the tube from the furnace and removing the wafers from said tube.
-3- -3- 55119
For a better understanding of the nature of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description and drawings of which;
Figs. 1 and 2 are side views of a quartz tube load with wafers, dopant and gettering agent in accordance with the teachings of this invention.
With reference to Fig. 1, there is shown a quartz tube 10 of the type commonly used in carrying out closed tube diffusion of wafers of a semiconductor material.
The quartz tube 10 normally will have a volume of one or two liters.
From 0.05 cc. to 0,5 cc. of a non-metallic chlorine compound 12, which will serve as a gettering agent, is disposed within the quartz tube 10. If the non-metallic compound is in the form of a fluid, a liquid or a gas it is enclosed within a sealed quartz capillary. If the non-metallic chlorine compound is in the form of a solid, it need not be enclosed within any type of container.
Examples of suitable non-metallic chlorine compounds that may be used in practicing the teachings of this invention include, but are not limited to hydrogen chloride (concentrated), trichloroethylene, trichloroethane, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride and trichloro- -4- -4- 5S119 methane (chloroform).
Particularly good results have been realized using trichloromethane.
The quantity of gettering agent employed depends on the 5 volume of the quartz tube 10 and the number and size of wafers of a semiconductor material which are to be diffused within the tube 10. For example, 0.1 to 0.3 qc. of-trichloromethane is used in a one Titer quartz tube when 200 wafers of two-inch diameter are to be diffused.
A suitable diffusion source 14 is then disposed in the quartz tube 10. The diffusion source may be in the formL of a doping metal or a doping metal compound. The metal should have a purity of from 99.9999 to 99.99999¾. by weight. The metal if used would be a metal selected 15 from the group consisting of gallium, aluminum or boron.
An example of a compound suitable for use as a doping agent would be boric oxide BgOg. In addition, the doping compound could be silicon powder and a doping agent. This latter doping compound is set forth in U.S. Patent 4,317,680 20 The quantity of doping compound employed is dependent on the material to be doped and the doping concentration desired. The calculation of the quantity of doping material used is well known to those skilled in the art.
- 5 S119 A graphite boat 16 containing a quantity of wafers 20 of a semiconductor material, preferably silicon is then disposed in the quartz tube 10.
A quartz tube having a volume of two-liters usually easily 5 hold 200 wafers.
The relative position of the gettering agent 12, the doping material 14 and the graphite boat 16 containing the wafers 20 within the quartz tube 10 is not important.
The gettering agent and the doping material may be contained 10 in the same capillary tube.
The quartz tube 10 is then sealed by glass soldering a plug 22 into open end 24.
The quartz tube 10 is then pumped to a vacuum of from 1 to 10*® torr through aperture 26 and then back filled with 15 an inert gas as for example helium or argon and the aperture 26 is sealed off.
The amount of inert gas used in the back filling depends upon the temperature at which the diffusion is to be carried out.
-6-.
-6-. 55119
With reference to Fig. 2, if the wafers 20 are disposed in a silicon liner 30, it.is not necessary to back fill the quartz tube 10 with an inert jas after pumping down to a vacuum.
The quartz tube 10 is then disposed in a diffusion furnace to effect the diffusion.
The time of diffusion and the diffusion temperature are, as is well known in the art, dependent on the desired device design and the starting material.
Two hundred, two inch diameter, n-type silicon wafers of 220+10¾ ohm-cm resistivity were disposed in a two liter quartz tubes together with 0.3 cc. trichloromethane, and a quantity of 99.99999%, by weight pure aluminum metaT. The quartz tube was evacuated to a vacuum of 10"® torr 15 and back filled to a pressure of 150 mra, Hg with argon. The tube was then heated in a diffusion furnace for 34 hours at V250°C. Each of the wafers had a p-type region formed therein with a junction depth of 100 microns and a surface concentration of 1-3x10^® atoms/cc.
When the quartz tube 10 is inserted in the diffusion furnace, the quartz capillary containing the gettering agent cracks from the heat freeing the gettering agent.
-7- -7- 55119
Following the diffusion, the wafers are removed from the quartz tube 10 and etched with an etchant consisting of, for example, by volume, 7 parts nitric acid, 1 part hydrofluoric acid and 1 part acetic acid.
The waste product from the etch and residue from the quartz tube 10 show the following impurities to be present copper, iron, magnesium, silver, nickel and platinum in amounts ranging from 1 to 100 ppm. It is believed these impurities were originally present on 10 the surface of the quartz tube, on the surface of the wafers, in the air and in the inert gas.
Normally, in prior art practices, the gettering operation would be carried out after the next diffusion, as for example, after the open tube diffusion of an n-type dopant 15 to form a transistor or thyristor and the impurities which have been removed by following the teachings of this invention would have already have contaminated the silicon wafers.
