    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, devices, and methods for treating a semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon wafer, in order to reduce current leakage therein. A semiconductor substrate is provided a plurality of heating treatments that create a denuded zone adjacent to a surface of the substrate and a core zone below the denuded zone. Oxygen impurities within the denuded zone are removed through an oxygen out-diffusion heat treatment. A plurality of macroscopic bulk micro defects is generated within the core zone through the combination of an agglomeration heat treatment and a macroscopic growth heat treatment. This plurality of macroscopic bulk micro defects inhibits migration of metallic contaminants that are located within the substrate. For exemplary purposes, certain embodiments are described relating to a semiconductor wafer heated in a sequence of three treatments. Each treatment has a temperature range in which the substrate is heated and an associated time range during which the treatment occurs.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device wherein a corpuscular beam is radiated to a semiconductor substrate to create crystal defects therein. The semiconductor substrate is subjected to a heat treatment, e.g. for 1 second to 60 minutes, wherein rapid heating-up, e.g. raising temperature to 550.degree. to 850.degree. C. within 10 minutes, is done in a process prior to that of carrying out of the radiation with a corpuscular beam. By doing so, there is provided a semiconductor device which is free from degradation in electrical characteristics such as current amplification factor and has an increased switching speed, even where crystal defects are created through the radiation of corpuscular beam such as an electron beam to shorten the carrier lifetime. Thus, the inventive semiconductor device is satisfied by both requirements of switching speed and electrical characteristic.
