本発明は、薄膜トランジスタの形成等に用いられる半導
体薄膜の形成方法に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for forming a semiconductor thin film used for forming thin film transistors and the like.
本発明は、上記の様な半導体薄膜の形成方法において、
絶縁性基体上の非単結晶の半導体薄膜に窒素イオンを選
択的に注入し、その後に半導体薄膜で固相成長を行わせ
ることによって、所望の位置に結晶化領域を有する半導
体薄膜を形成することができる様にしたものである。The present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor thin film as described above.
Forming a semiconductor thin film having crystallized regions at desired positions by selectively implanting nitrogen ions into a non-single-crystal semiconductor thin film on an insulating substrate and then performing solid phase growth on the semiconductor thin film. It was made so that it could be done.
半導体薄膜に薄膜トランジスタを形成したりする場合、
絶縁性基体に例えばＳｉ薄膜を堆積させ、このＳｉ薄膜
にＳｉ゛イオンを注入して一旦は非単結晶化し、更に５
ｉＦｉｌ膜を熱処理してこのＳｉｍ膜で固相成長を行わ
せ、その後にそのＳｉ薄膜に薄膜トランジスタを形成し
たりしていた。When forming thin film transistors on semiconductor thin films,
For example, a Si thin film is deposited on an insulating substrate, and Si ions are implanted into this Si thin film to make it non-single crystal.
The iFil film is heat-treated to perform solid phase growth on the Sim film, and then a thin film transistor is formed on the Si thin film.
ところが、結晶核の発生位置が全くランダムなために、
上述の様にして半導体薄膜を形成しただけでは、結晶粒
がランダムに成長し、結晶化領域を所望の位置に形成す
ることができない。However, since the location of the crystal nuclei is completely random,
If a semiconductor thin film is simply formed as described above, crystal grains will grow randomly and crystallized regions cannot be formed at desired positions.
この結果、薄膜トランジスタ等の活性領域として用いる
領域内に粒界の存在する確率が高く、性能の高い薄膜ト
ランジスタ等を形成することができなかった。As a result, there is a high probability that grain boundaries exist in a region used as an active region of a thin film transistor, etc., making it impossible to form a thin film transistor or the like with high performance.
本発明による半導体薄膜の形成方法は、絶縁性基体１１
上の非単結晶の半導体薄膜１２に窒素イオン１５を選択
的に注入する工程と、前記注入の後に前記半導体薄膜１
２で固相成長を行わせる工程とを夫々具備している。In the method for forming a semiconductor thin film according to the present invention, an insulating substrate 11
A step of selectively implanting nitrogen ions 15 into the non-single crystal semiconductor thin film 12 above, and a step of selectively implanting nitrogen ions 15 into the non-single crystal semiconductor thin film 12,
2 and a step of performing solid phase growth.
本発明による半導体薄膜の形成方法では、窒素イオン１
５を選択的に注入してから半導体薄膜１２で固相成長を
行わせており、窒素イオン１５を注入しなかった領域１
２ａでは結晶粒の成長が相対的に早く、窒素イオン１５
を注入した領域１２ｂでは結晶粒の成長が相対的に遅い
。In the method for forming a semiconductor thin film according to the present invention, nitrogen ions 1
After selectively implanting nitrogen ions 15, solid phase growth is performed on the semiconductor thin film 12, and the region 1 in which nitrogen ions 15 are not implanted.
In 2a, the growth of crystal grains is relatively fast, and nitrogen ions 15
The growth of crystal grains is relatively slow in the region 12b where the ions are implanted.
従って、窒素イオン１５を注入した領域１２ｂで成長し
始めた結晶粒が窒素イオン１５を注入しなかった領域１
２ａ内にまで広がってこの領域１２ａ内に粒界の存在す
る確率は低く、窒素イオン１５を注入しなかった領域１
２ａが単一の結晶粒で占有される確率は高く、単一の結
晶粒を所望の位置に形成することができる。Therefore, the crystal grains that started to grow in the region 12b into which the nitrogen ions 15 were implanted are the regions 1 into which the nitrogen ions 15 were not implanted.
The probability that a grain boundary exists in this region 12a is low, and the region 1 in which the nitrogen ions 15 are not implanted is
The probability that 2a is occupied by a single crystal grain is high, and a single crystal grain can be formed at a desired position.
以下、本発明の一実施例を第１図及び第２図を参照しな
がら説明する。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
第１図が、本実施例の工程を示している。本実施例では
、第１Ａ図に示す様に、Ｓｉの表面に５ｉＯｚを形成し
たものや石英等から成る絶縁性基体１１に、厚さが８０
０人程度の５ｉＦ）膜１２をまず堆積させる。FIG. 1 shows the steps of this embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, an insulating substrate 11 made of Si, quartz, or the like with 5 iOz formed on the surface thereof has a thickness of 80
A 5iF) film 12 of about 0 is first deposited.
次に、１．５ ｘ １０１Ｓ個／ｃ艷の密度のＳｉ”イ
オン１３を４０ｋｅＶのエネルギでＳｉｌ膜１２の全面
に注入して、このＳｉｉ膜１２の全体を一旦は非単結晶
化する。Next, Si'' ions 13 at a density of 1.5 x 101S/c are implanted into the entire surface of the Sil film 12 with an energy of 40 keV, and the entire Si film 12 is once made into a non-single crystal.
次に、第１Ｂ図に示す様に、イオン注入に対するマスク
１４をＳｉ薄膜１２の所望の領域に形成する。そして、
５×１０１４個／ｄの密度のＮ＋イオン１５を２５ｋｅ
ＶのエネルギでＳｉ薄膜１２及びマクス１４に打ち込む
。Next, as shown in FIG. 1B, a mask 14 for ion implantation is formed in a desired region of the Si thin film 12. and,
25ke of N+ ions 15 with a density of 5×1014 ions/d
The energy of V is implanted into the Si thin film 12 and the mask 14.
すると、Ｓｉ薄膜１２のうちでマスク１４に覆われてい
ない領域にのみＮ°イオン１５が注入され、Ｓｉ薄膜１
２のうちでマスク１４に覆われている領域にはＮ゛イオ
ン１５注入されていない。Then, N° ions 15 are implanted only into the region of the Si thin film 12 that is not covered by the mask 14, and the Si thin film 1
In the region covered by the mask 14, the N ion 15 is not implanted.
その後、マスク１４を除去し、６００”Ｃ程度と比較的
低い温度でＳｉ薄膜１２で固相成長を行わせる。Thereafter, the mask 14 is removed and solid phase growth is performed on the Si thin film 12 at a relatively low temperature of about 600''C.
すると、第１Ｃ図に示す様に、Ｓｉ薄膜１２のうちでＮ
°イオン１５が注入されなかった領域１２ａでは結晶粒
が相対的に早く成長し、Ｓｉ薄膜１２のうちでＮ゛イオ
ン１５注入された領域１２ｂでは結晶粒が相対的に遅く
成長する。Then, as shown in FIG. 1C, N in the Si thin film 12
Crystal grains grow relatively quickly in the region 12a where the ions 15 are not implanted, and crystal grains grow relatively slowly in the region 12b where the N ions 15 are implanted in the Si thin film 12.
第２図は、１５時間の固相成長を行った後の領域１２ａ
、１２ｂに種々の波長の光を入射させた場合の反射率を
示している。この第２図から明らかな様に、略全部の波
長の光に対して、領域１２ａの反射率１６ａが領域１２
ｂの反射率１６ｂよりも高い。これは、領域１２ａに対
して領域１２ｂの結晶化が遅れていることを示している
。FIG. 2 shows the region 12a after 15 hours of solid phase growth.
, 12b shows the reflectance when light of various wavelengths is incident on the light beams 12b. As is clear from this FIG.
It is higher than the reflectance 16b of b. This indicates that the crystallization of the region 12b is delayed relative to the region 12a.
このために、領域１２ｂで成長し始めた結晶粒が領域１
２ａ内にまで広がる前に、領域１２ａ内で成長し始めた
結晶粒がこの領域１２ａを占有してしまう確率が高い。For this reason, the crystal grains that have started to grow in region 12b are
There is a high probability that the crystal grains that have started to grow within the region 12a will occupy this region 12a before spreading to the inside of the region 2a.
つまり、領域１２ｂで成長し始めた結晶粒が領域１２ａ
内にまで広がってこの領域１２ａ内に粒界の存在する確
率は低く、領域１２ａは単一の結晶粒で占有される確率
が高い。In other words, the crystal grains that have started to grow in the region 12b are grown in the region 12a.
The probability that a grain boundary exists within this region 12a is low, and the probability that the region 12a is occupied by a single crystal grain is high.
従って、領域１２ａを薄膜トランジスタ等の活性領域と
して用いる様にすれば、性能の高い薄膜トランジスタ等
を形成することができる。Therefore, if the region 12a is used as an active region of a thin film transistor or the like, a thin film transistor or the like with high performance can be formed.
なお、領域１２・ａの面積を小さくすればする程、この
領域１２ａ内で成長し始める結晶粒が単一である確率が
高くなり、性能の更に高い薄膜トランジスタ等を形成す
ることができる。Note that the smaller the area of the region 12.a, the higher the probability that a single crystal grain will start growing within this region 12a, making it possible to form a thin film transistor or the like with even higher performance.
本発明による半導体薄膜の形成方法では、単一の結晶粒
を所望の位置に形成することができるので、所望の位置
に結晶化領域を有する半導体薄膜を形成することができ
る。In the method for forming a semiconductor thin film according to the present invention, a single crystal grain can be formed at a desired position, so a semiconductor thin film having a crystallized region at a desired position can be formed.
