ェハである。Among these, dopants used for impurity introduction and bond formation by diffusion methods include solid dopants such as metallic gallium (Ga), boron nitride (BN), and red phosphorus, and liquid dopants such as phosphorus oxyΞ chloride (P0C13). etc. are often used. Figures 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining the method of introducing impurities into a semiconductor substrate when plate-shaped solid BN is used as an impurity source, where 1 is a diffusion tube, 2 is a holder, and 3 is a solid BN source. , 4 are silicon wafers.

配置されている。As is clear, in the example of FIG. 1, the solid BN source 3 and the silicon wafers 4 are set alternately on the holder 2, whereas in the example of FIG. A solid BN source 3 is arranged so as to surround the solid BN source 3.

ある。As shown in these figures, diffusion tubes (quartz tube, Si tube, Si
C tube, etc.) 1 contains a large number of silicon wafers 4 and a solid B
The N source 3 is set, the inside of the diffusion tube 1 is brought into an inert gas atmosphere or a vacuum (reduced pressure) state, and the silicon wafer 4 is doped with an impurity (boron) while being maintained at a high temperature.
ここで使用される温度は8囲℃〜1300℃、不活性化

気を制御することにより所定の不純物表面濃度及び濃度
プロフィールを得ていた。The temperature used here is 8°C to 1300°C, the inert gas pressure is the pressure that makes the inside of the diffusion tube equal to atmospheric pressure at the above doping temperature, and the vacuum (reduced pressure) is 10-" to 10-0 torr.
r is commonly used. As described above, in the method of using solid BN as an impurity source, a predetermined impurity surface concentration and concentration profile are obtained by controlling the diffusion temperature, time, and atmosphere.
しかしながら、このように特性(不純物濃度)の異なる
半導体素子を製造する毎に拡散温度を変化させていては

。However, changing the diffusion temperature each time semiconductor elements with different characteristics (impurity concentrations) are manufactured not only increases the number of man-hours and makes the work complicated.
It is not a good idea to reduce the rotation (utilization) rate of equipment (diffusion furnace, etc.). Furthermore, changing the diffusion atmosphere also eliminates the commonality of equipment, resulting in the same drawbacks as the above-mentioned change in furnace temperature.

前述した従来技術の欠点を無くし、安定した不純物表面
濃度を得、ひいては安定した素子特性を得るような不純
物拡散法を提供するにある。Furthermore, there is a drawback that complicated changes and control of diffusion conditions are likely to cause operational errors. In addition, recently, it has been observed that when the production rod of solid BN as a source changes, the surface concentration of impurities obtained from it changes. It has become clear that the impurity surface concentration is also influenced by the characteristics of The purpose of the present invention is to
It is an object of the present invention to provide an impurity diffusion method that eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art described above, obtains a stable impurity surface concentration, and, in turn, obtains stable device characteristics.

のである。The present invention was made based on the discovery that the concentration of diffused impurities on the surface of a semiconductor wafer depends on the density of solid BN as a source. , which focuses on the density and oxidation amount of the surface of a plate-shaped solid BN source.

。In other words, the present invention maintains the density of the solid BN source at a specific value, thereby increasing the impurity concentration on the semiconductor wafer surface to a desired value without changing other diffusion conditions such as temperature, time, atmosphere, etc. This is an attempt to stabilize the situation. The inventor started by confirming the correlation between the density of the solid BN source and the impurity concentration on the silicon surface after diffusion.

果が得られた。This result is the graph shown in FIG. This graph is
Using the diffusion furnace shown in Figures 1 and 2, the concentration was 11000C.
f) After doping in N2 gas atmosphere, about 50
This was obtained for a semiconductor device subjected to stretching diffusion after heating at 1150 to 1300'C to obtain a .mu.m diffusion layer. In addition, the solid BN source should be heated to 1150℃ before use.
The specimens were air-fired for several hours in an oxygen gas atmosphere. As is clear from FIG. 3, the higher the density of the solid @3N source, the lower the impurity concentration on the silicon wafer surface, and conversely, the lower the density, the higher the surface impurity concentration.

形態、すなわち使用前の酸素ガス処理によりBNソース
の表面が酸化されてボロンの酸化物(B2O3等)が形
成され、これがシリコンウェハにデポジットされている
ためであると考え−られる。This is because when a solid BN source acts as a dopant, boron does not act alone or as BN, but in other forms, i.e., the surface of the BN source is oxidized by oxygen gas treatment before use, resulting in boron oxides. It is thought that this is because (B2O3, etc.) is formed and deposited on the silicon wafer.
つまり、固体BNソースの表面の酸化量が多いとシリコ
ンウェハ表面における不純物濃度が高くなり、逆に酸化
量が少いと不純物濃度が低くなるということになる。In other words, if the amount of oxidation on the surface of the solid BN source is large, the impurity concentration on the silicon wafer surface will be high, and conversely, if the amount of oxidation is small, the impurity concentration will be low.
これを証明する事象として、予め酸化処理を行なわない

故密度の低いBNの方が、表面の酸化量が多いかという
ことであるが、これは固体BNソースの表面の拡大観察
にて明らかにされた。An event that proves this is that when a solid BN source without prior oxidation treatment is used, the surface impurity concentration of the silicon wafer is extremely reduced. The question is why BN with a lower density has a larger amount of oxidation on its surface, and this was clarified by magnified observation of the surface of a solid BN source.

を行なうものてある。According to the inventor's observations, it was found that solid BN sources with low density have a rough surface, that is, have a large surface area, while those with high density have a smooth surface and a small surface area.Those with a large surface area In this case, a large amount of oxygen gas is taken in during the oxidation process, and therefore a large amount of boron oxide is deposited on the silicon wafer, which results in a high impurity concentration.Based on the facts detailed above. , the present invention provides solid B used as an impurity source.
The relationship (as shown in Figure 3) between the density of N and the impurity concentration on the silicon wafer surface obtained under certain diffusion conditions (temperature, atmosphere, dopant species, etc.) is determined in advance, and this relationship is determined in advance. Solid B whose density is adjusted or selected in advance to a value that provides a desired surface impurity concentration in accordance with
There is a method in which N is used as an impurity source and diffusion is performed under the above-mentioned specific conditions.

ことができる。By doing so, it became possible to obtain a desired surface impurity concentration with good reproducibility, and it became possible to minimize variations in device characteristics. In carrying out the present invention, solid BN with low density (approximately 1.80 or less) is used.
When using B, a high impurity concentration can be obtained, but the reactivity with the silicon wafer and holder becomes strong, so B
Air firing in N2 gas atmosphere using N source (800~1100
It is necessary to consider such things as conducting step C) to weaken the reactivity, minimizing the contact area between the BN source and the holder, or using an inexpensive disposable jig. Incidentally, as shown in the embodiment of FIG.
By arranging the solid BN source 3 so as to surround the holder 2, the number of silicon wafers 4 set simultaneously on the holder 2 can be increased.
以上の説明から明らかなように本発明によれば、温度、

Since there is no need to change the time, atmosphere, etc.), on-site work is simplified, the utilization rate of the diffusion furnace is improved, and there is no risk of erroneous operation.
