Abstract

PURPOSE:To form the diffusion layer having a uniform impurity distribution by diffusing the impurity under the condition that the temperature of a plane of a semiconductor substrate is preset at such degree that a diffusion of the impurity does not progress. CONSTITUTION:The temperature of a plane of a semiconductor substrate on the side where an impurity is introduced is preset at such temperature that a diffusion of the impurity progresses and that of the side where the impurity is not introduced is preset at such temperature that the diffusion of impurity does not progress. Under these conditions, namely the conditions that a temperature gradient is produced in the semiconductor substrate or equivalently a temperature gradient is produced in the semiconductor substrate, the impurity is diffused. It becomes possible to form the diffusion layer having the depth which does not depend on a diffusing time, but is determined by a distribution of temperature primarily at low cost for manufacture. As a result, a depth of a diffusion well in the CMOS process can be made shallow, for example.

(Prior Art and its Problems) During the manufacture of semiconductor devices, forming a complete diffusion layer on a semiconductor substrate is often included as an important step. Conventionally, methods for forming a diffusion layer include (1) ion implantation of impurities, introducing them into the substrate surface, and then fully diffusing them; and (2) depositing an epitaxial layer containing impurities on the substrate.

Among these methods, the impurity-introduced substrate is injected and diffused in an electric furnace at a uniform constant temperature.The impurity distribution in the substrate is determined by in-phase diffusion. For example, when diffusing n-type impurities into a p-type substrate, it is determined by the total amount of impurities introduced by ion implantation, the temperature of the electric furnace, and the diffusion time. As shown in the impurity distribution diagram of FIG. 2, it is known that a Gaussian distribution or a complementary error function distribution occurs.

However, when manufacturing semiconductor devices, it is often desirable to have a diffusion layer in which the impurity concentration in the diffusion layer is constant. For example, consider the case where a CMOS is manufactured by forming a KN type diffusion well on a P type substrate. In this case, PM in the N-type diffusion well
An OS transistor is formed. In an N-type diffusion well having an impurity distribution as shown in FIG. 2, the N-type impurity concentration on the well surface is high, and the N-type impurity concentration inside the substrate is low. Therefore, PMO8 in the N-type diffusion well
) When considering transistors, the depletion layer from the interface between the P-type substrate and the N-type diffusion well easily expands, so the P-type substrate and PMO8) have the disadvantage that the resistor easily punches through, and the concentration on the other side is Since the PMO8) transistor threshold voltage becomes high, there are drawbacks such as difficulty in controlling the threshold voltage of the transistor.

As a means of overcoming these drawbacks, method (2) is used. This method makes it possible to form a diffusion layer with a uniform concentration compared to method (11). However, the epitaxial growth process It is known that manufacturing costs are high in the semiconductor device manufacturing process.For example, considering the CMOS process,
In order to separate the elements, it is also necessary to form a diffusion layer having the same polarity as the substrate by penetrating the epitaxial layer. As described above, the method (2) also has some drawbacks.

This is similar to the configuration of the present invention, in which a semiconductor substrate is processed with a temperature gradient applied thereto. However, Ri et al.'s report states that the physical phenomenon is caused by thermal migration of metal, and that it is characterized by the formation of a wiring layer that penetrates the semiconductor substrate.
