Abstract
La présente invention décrit une structure de suite de points dans laquelle les cœurs ou les isolateurs uniquement sont placés dans l'ordre sur un substrat de silicium ; elle est obtenue en passant par un processus de production de super-molécule de protéine en forme de cage (S101), un processus de production de film (S102) utilisant une super-molécule de protéine en forme de cage et un processus pour retirer le revêtement de protéines d'une super-molécule de protéine en forme de cage (S103). Un film de silicium (Si) est ensuite cultivé sur un substrat à suite de points par un procédé CVD, une électrode d'aluminium est déposée à la vapeur sur sa surface supérieure et le film est soumis à un processus de préparation de structure de condenseur (104). Ensuite, une électrode d'aluminium est fournie et le produit est soumis à un processus de fabrication de structure physique, par exemple un dispositif de grille flottante (S105). Enfin, un traitement de recuisson (S106) est réalisé. Le traitement par recuisson réduit chaque point qui a été un isolateur au moyen d'un film de silicium pour le modifier afin de montrer de la conductivité. Un procédé de production de dispositif à semi-conducteurs et un semi-conducteur capable d'assurer la conductivité de manière constante sont donc fournis sans entraîner de détérioration de la conductivité des points.
