Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of bringing a mirror-polished surface of a first semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type into contact with a mirror-polished surface of a second semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type having an impurity concentration which is lower than that of said first conductivity type, in a clean atmosphere, and thermally heating said first and second semiconductor substrates so that they unite. Impurity is diffused from said first semiconductor substrate into said second semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a diffusion layer of a first conductivity type in said second semiconductor substrate. A total amount of impurity of said diffusion layer is 1.times.10.sup.13 /cm.sup.2 to 2.times.10.sup.15 /cm.sup.2, to form a pn junction in said second semiconductor substrate.

Abstract:
A method for making a high-performance NPN silicon semiconductor device which has an arsenic emitter which gives a substantial improvement in transistor speed and current gain over similar phosphorous emitters. Arsenic atoms in the emitter region tend to squeeze the P-type impurity, such as boron in the base into a narrow base layer. For the same integrated base doping, a much narrower base can be obtained with arsenic-doped emitters than with phosphorous-doped emitters.
Abstract:
In a horizontal transfer section of a solid state imager, a horizontal transfer efficiency can be improved while other element sections are prevented from being substantially affected. In a solid state imager having a horizontal transfer section comprised of a well-region of a second conductivity type formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and a signal charge transfer region formed on the surface of the well-region of the second conductivity type, the well-region is formed completely in a depletion state by the implantation of impurities into this well-region. The horizontal transfer efficiency is thus improved.
Abstract:
A substantially square N-type impurity distribution profile in a silicon substrate produces much superior dc and ac characteristics in PN junction devices than can be expected from the usual phosphorus distribution profile. Such a square profile is obtained by diffusion of arsenic in the silicon substrate. The sharper impurity gradient allows a relatively low surface concentration to be used for the device. This lower surface concentration relieves precipitation and dislocation problems.
Abstract:
An NPN transistor with high voltage and high current capacities is provided in a semiconductor body having a thin internal portion and a thick integral peripheral portion. The thin portion has a substantially uniform width of greater than about 28 microns and oppositely facing surface areas each of greater than about 0.10 cm2. The thick peripheral portion has a width greater than about 150 microns and annular dimension i.e. radial width greater than 10 microns. The base region has two contiguous impurity portions. A first impurity portion adjoins a major, preferably planar surface of the semiconductor body at the peripheral portion and has an impurity concentration of boron of at least 1 X 1019 atoms per cubic centimeter at the surface and a steep impurity concentration gradient to provide good ohmic and thermal properties. A second contiguous impurity portion is in internal portions of the body between emitter and collector regions and has a lower impurity concentration of gallium and/or aluminum and shallower impurity concentration gradient than the first impurity portion. Preferably, first and second impurity portions of the base region are formed by the simultaneous diffusion of boron and gallium and/or aluminum.

Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device including a plurality of field areas, a plurality of electrode areas, a plurality of source areas and drain areas sunrounded by the field areas and the electrode areas, before forming field insulating layers for isolating the source and drain regions, impurities are introduced into the field areas between the source regions, to create an additional source region below the field insulating layer for isolating the source regions. The additional source regions are linked between the source regions.
Abstract:
A gain waveguide type semiconductor laser oscillating visible light has an N type GaAs substrate of, and a double-heterostructure provided above the substrate to include an InGaP active layer, and first and second cladding layers sandwiching the active layer. The first cladding layer consists of N type InGaAlP, whereas the second cladding layer consists of P type InGaAlP. A P type InGaP layer is formed as an intermediate band-gap layer on the second cladding layer. An N type GaAs current-blocking layer is formed on the intermediate band-gap layer, and has an elongated waveguide opening. A P type GaAs contact layer is formed to cover the current-blocking layer and the opening. The intermediate band-gap layer has a carrier concentration, in a layer portion being in contact with the opening, high enough to cause a current injected in the oscillation mode to concentrate on the layer portion and has a carrier density, in the remaining layer portion, low enough to suppress or prevent the injected current from spreading thereinto. The layer portion may be formed by additionally doping a selected impurity into the intermediate gap layer by using a presently available impurity diffusion/injection technique.
