Description
図1(a)は、本発明の実施形態として、堆積酸化膜を備えた半導体基板を、酸化性の溶液に浸漬処理する、酸化膜製造装置の説明図である。具体的には、二酸化シリコン膜(堆積酸化膜)2を備えた半導体1を、処理槽3内に満たされた酸化性の溶液4に浸漬処理する。また、ヒーター5により、酸化性の溶液4の温度を調整できる。
次に、別の浸漬処理により得たMOS型キャパシタのC−V特性図を図4に示す。TEOSを酸素プラズマ中400℃で分解させて、基板上に酸化膜を堆積させる、周知のプラズマ化学気相成長(プラズマTEOS−CVD)法により、膜厚37.4nmの二酸化シリコン膜を形成したMOS型半導体装置の製造方法はこの実施例で変更している点以外は実施例1と同じである。図1(a)に示す処理槽2内に満たされた濃度69質量%の高濃度の濃硝酸にシリコン基板11及び二酸化シリコン膜15を浸漬し、この状態で、処理槽3内の濃硝酸をヒーター5により加熱して沸騰させる。そして、共沸状態(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)になったところでこの状態を1時間持続した。
実施例2において、高濃度の硝酸から共沸状態(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)へ移行させて処理する方法を述べたが、濃度68質量%未満の低濃度の硝酸から共沸(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)状態に至るまで昇温加熱しつつ浸漬させて処理した半導体装置、また、浸漬処理の替わりに、酸化性の蒸気に曝露処理した半導体装置のC−V特性を測定した。
また、別の実施例として、図6に共沸状態(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)の酸化性溶液に浸漬処理後、窒素雰囲気下で加熱したMOS型キャパシタのC−V特性図を示す。プラズマ化学気相成長(プラズマTEOS−CVD)法により、膜厚37.4nmの二酸化シリコン膜を形成したMOS型半導体装置の製造方法はこの実施例で変更している点以外は実施例1と同じである。ここで、図中の(m)は共沸硝酸(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)に1時間浸漬処理を行った後、窒素雰囲気下において200℃で1時間加熱処理を行った酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線、(n)は共沸硝酸(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)に1時間浸漬処理を行った酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線、(p)は比較例として、該浸漬処理及び加熱処理を行わなかった堆積酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線である。
図8に、共沸点以下の酸化性溶液に浸漬処理を行ったMOS型キャパシタのC−V特性図を示す。尚、酸化膜の形成方法はプラズマ化学気相成長(プラズマTEOS−CVD)法を用い、MOS型半導体装置の製造方法はこの実施例で変更している点以外は実施例1と同じである。
また、共沸点以下の酸化性溶液に浸漬処理を行った後、窒素雰囲気下で加熱したMOS型キャパシタのC−V特性図を図9に示す。尚、酸化膜の形成方法はプラズマ化学気相成長(プラズマTEOS−CVD)法を用い、MOS型半導体装置の製造方法はこの実施例で変更している点以外は実施例1と同じである。また、このときの酸化膜の膜厚は33.7nmである。
常圧熱CVD法により堆積した酸化膜を備えた半導体装置について浸漬処理を行った結果を図10に示す。尚、MOS型半導体装置の製造方法はこの実施例で変更している点以外は実施例1と同じである。また、このときの酸化膜の膜厚は33.7nmである。図中の(E)は堆積酸化膜を形成後、共沸状態(濃度68質量%、沸点120.7℃)の硝酸溶液に1時間浸漬処理した酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線、(F)は堆積酸化膜を形成後、105℃に加熱した濃度69質量%の硝酸溶液に1時間浸漬処理した酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線、(G)は比較例として、堆積酸化膜を形成後、室温(25℃)下で濃度69質量%の硝酸溶液に1時間浸漬処理した酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線である。また、他の比較例として、(H)は硝酸への浸漬処理を行っていない、常圧熱CVD法による堆積酸化膜を備えた半導体装置のC−V特性曲線である。
半導体基板である抵抗率0.016Ω−cm(ドープ濃度:4.50E+18cm-3)のSiC上に、6μm(ドープ濃度:1.25E+17cm-3)のエピタキシャル層が形成された3C−SiC(100)p形エピタキシャル基板を用いて、実施例1の個々の製造方法を適宜採用して、MOS型半導体装置を製造した。
