    摘要: A semiconductor device may include a base substrate, a first thin-film transistor (“TFT”) provided on the base substrate, a second TFT provided on the base substrate, and a plurality of insulating layers provided on the base substrate to define at least one dummy hole that is not overlapped with the first and second TFTs. The first TFT may include a first input electrode, a first output electrode, a first control electrode, and a first semiconductor pattern including a crystalline semiconductor material, and the second TFT may include a second input electrode, a second output electrode, a second control electrode, and a second semiconductor pattern including an oxide semiconductor material. A shortest distance between the at least one dummy hole and the second semiconductor pattern may be equal to or shorter than 5 micrometers (μm), in a plan view.

    摘要: An epitaxial silicon wafer includes a silicon wafer consisting of a COP region in which a nitrogen concentration is 1×1012−1×1013 atoms/cm3, and an epitaxial silicon film formed on the silicon wafer. When heat treatment for evaluation is applied, a density of BMD formed inside the silicon wafer is 1×108−3×109 atoms/cm3 over the entire radial direction of the silicon wafer. An average density of the BMD formed in an outer peripheral region of the silicon wafer which is a 1-10 mm range separated inward from an outermost periphery thereof is lower than the average density of the BMD formed in a center region. A variation in the BMD density in the outer peripheral region is 3 or less, and a residual oxygen concentration in the outer peripheral region is 8×1017 atoms/cm3 or more.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a bonded SOI wafer, including depositing a polycrystalline silicon layer on a base wafer, forming an insulator film on a bond wafer, bonding the bond wafer and a polished surface of the silicon layer with the insulator film interposed, and thinning the bond wafer, wherein a silicon single crystal wafer having a resistivity of 100 Ω-cm or more is the base wafer, the step of depositing the silicon layer includes a stage of forming an oxide film on the surface of the base wafer, and the silicon layer is deposited between 1050° C. and 1200° C. Accordingly, the method enables a polycrystalline silicon layer to be deposited while preventing the progress of single crystallization even through a heat treatment step in the SOI wafer manufacturing process or a heat treatment step in the device manufacturing process and can improve throughput in the polycrystalline silicon layer depositing step.

    摘要: The present invention is a method for a heat treatment of a silicon single crystal wafer in an oxidizing ambient, including: performing the heat treatment based on a condition determined by a tripartite correlation between a heat treatment temperature during the heat treatment, an oxygen concentration in the silicon single crystal wafer before the heat treatment, and a void size in the silicon single crystal wafer before the heat treatment. This provides a method for a heat treatment of a silicon single crystal wafer which can annihilate void defects or micro oxide precipitate nuclei in a silicon single crystal wafer with low cost, efficiently, and securely by a heat treatment in an oxidizing ambient.
