As a manufacturing method for a semiconductor element having such a structure, after forming a base region on a semiconductor substrate, a silicon oxide film is formed, and a silicon nitride film is deposited on the oxide film by vapor phase epitaxy.
The silicon windowed film is grown to a thickness of 1.5 Å, and then a photoetching method is used to open a hole in the silicon window film in the area that will become the emitter window or the base electrode attachment window in the future. There is a method of etching the silicon oxide film within the opening of the film to form an emitter window or a base electrode attachment window.

However, when such a method is used, a step difference of 1000 to 2000 Å occurs due to the thickness of the silicon nitride film, and when forming an emitter window or a window for attaching a base electrode in a photoresist on a semiconductor substrate, it is difficult to prevent light scattering. However, there was a drawback in that it was difficult to form windows of desired dimensions.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the present invention
The silicon nitride film is left only in the area where the connection part (so-called bonding pad) with the external lead wire of the external lead electrode of the semiconductor element will be formed in the future, and the silicon nitride film on the semiconductor substrate in other areas is photoetched. It is characterized by removal.

According to the present invention, when an emitter window or a base electrode attachment window is subsequently formed in the photoresist on the semiconductor substrate, a thin emitter window of 1 to 2 μm is formed because there is no step in the vicinity of the window due to the thickness of the silicon nitride film. Windows can also be easily formed.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, a base region 1 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 4 by a conventionally known method, a thermally grown silicon oxide film 2 is formed, and a silicon nitride film 3 is formed thereon by a vapor phase growth method. 1000~2000
After the growth, a hole is formed in the photosensitive resin film 5 at a portion that will become an emitter window or a window for attaching a base electrode in the future by photoetching.

However, when trying to form an emitter window in the area where the silicon nitride film is opened, there is a step difference of 1000 to 2000 Å between the silicon oxide film surface and the silicon nitride film, so the photosensitive resin film coated on top of it also becomes uneven. . Therefore, light scattering occurs during exposure of the photosensitive resin film, and for example, as shown in FIG. Quite often, only open holes are obtained.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the silicon oxide film of the semiconductor substrate is etched to form an emitter window, but as mentioned above, a pattern with the desired dimensions was not obtained on the photosensitive resin film. Also, a pattern with the desired size cannot be obtained in the silicon oxide film.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the present invention forms a silicon oxide film after forming the base region,
After growing a silicon nitride film to a thickness of approximately 1000 to 2000 Å on the oxide film by vapor phase growth, a bonding patch is formed on the portion that will become the connection between the extraction electrode of the semiconductor element and the external lead wire in the future using the photoetching method. By leaving the silicon nitride film only on the area where the electrode is to be formed and removing the silicon nitride film on the other areas of the semiconductor substrate, a photosensitive resin film is formed in order to provide an emitter window or a window for attaching the base electrode. The feature is that during patterning, resolution is prevented from decreasing due to light scattering due to unevenness of the photosensitive resin film caused by steps in the silicon nitride film.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, a base region 1 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 4 by a conventionally known method, a thermally grown silicon oxide film 2 is formed, and a silicon nitride film 3 is formed thereon by a vapor phase growth method. Thereafter, photosensitive resin 5 is formed only on the portion that will become the connecting portion between the extraction electrode of the semiconductor element and the external lead wire in the future.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, a photosensitive resin film 5' is newly formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the photosensitive resin film is patterned to form openings a in order to form emitter diffusion windows. As is clear from the figure, according to the present invention, the step caused by the thickness of the silicon nitride film is very far away from the region where the emitter window is provided, so the photosensitive resin film is flat in that region. It is formed. Therefore, scattering of light during exposure is extremely reduced, and it has become possible to easily form patterns having minute dimensions of 1 to 2 μm as emitter windows. Then the 8th

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, a base electrode mounting window b is formed by photoetching. In this case as well, for the same reason as in the case of forming the emitter window, the formation of the electrode-attached window has become much easier than in the past, and the dimensional accuracy has also been improved. Next, a platinum silicide layer is formed in the contact windows of the emitter and base of the semiconductor substrate, and then an electrode having a multilayer structure consisting of 12 titanium, 13 platinum, and 14 gold is formed.

It was confirmed that even with the structure of the present invention shown in FIG. 9, the adhesion strength between the electrode and the silicon nitride film, and between the silicon nitride film and the silicon oxide film is not inferior at all compared to the conventional structure.

As explained above, in order to improve the adhesive strength between the electrode metal and the semiconductor substrate, the present invention involves forming a silicon nitride film only under the connection part of the electrode part with the external lead wire (so-called bonding pad part). By doing so, the degree of adhesion between the electrode metal and the semiconductor substrate is maintained at a good level, and the adverse effects of the steps caused by the silicon nitride film on the opening of the emitter window and the opening of the base electrode attachment window are minimized, thereby improving the production yield in semiconductor device manufacturing. This makes it possible to improve the
