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.

The present invention provides a high heat dissipation plastic package and a method for making the same that provides an inexpensive, thin high heat dissipation plastic package with good bonding precision and minimal bleeding of adhesive resin. A Cu foil resin film is formed by bonding an adhesive resin to a Cu foil and pre-forming, at an essentially central position, a cut-out for a cavity used to mount a semiconductor element. The Cu foil resin film is bonded using the adhesive resin directly to a heat dissipation plate. A conductor wiring pattern is formed on the Cu foil resin film. Furthermore, the heat dissipation plate includes a stopping section used to prevent resin from bleeding onto a cavity when bonding with the adhesive resin of the Cu foil resin film.

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.

A zener diode in which the anode region of a first conductivity material is formed by diffusion in a semiconductor body, a cathode region of a second conductivity material is formed by diffusion in the semiconductor body, and the two regions are bridged by a third region extending through the two regions, the third region being a shallow layer of ion implanted doping material of said first conductivity type. In one embodiment, the anode and cathode regions are spaced-apart; in a second embodiment the cathode region is formed within the anode region. The ion implanted layer has a concentration that peaks below the surface, thus establishing the breakdown point for the avalanching of the zener diode below the surface and removed from surface contaminants such as found in the oxide surface layer.
