5、s, x-rays, etc.Without the techniques of pattern definition, the fabrication of multiple devices on one semiconductor would be impossible. Although the techniques of pattern definition seem simple they are the heart of modern IC fabrication.半导体器件制作半导体器件制作第14页/共47页PhotoresistPhoto lithography is a pr

6、ocess in which wafer is coated with a light sensitive polymer called photoresist. Polyisoprene is an example of a commonly used photoactive agent.A mask is used to expose selected areas of photoresist to UV light. The UV light induces polymerization in the exposed photoresist. UV causes it to cross

7、link rendering it insoluble in developing solution. Such a photoresist is called a positive photoresist. A negative photoresist shows an opposite behavior. That is exposure to UV makes the photoresist soluble in developing solution.第15页/共47页! Remember: There are two types of photoresist:* NEGATIVE -

8、 unexposed areas removed* POSITIVE - exposed areas removedNegative resist is the most often used because it is less affected by etchants although positive resist offers better resolution.Positive resists are more capable of producing the small size of modern device features which are typically below

10、热烘30分钟左右使经显影时软化、膨胀的胶膜坚固。这样可使胶膜与硅片贴得更牢，同时也增强了胶膜本身的抗蚀能力。腐蚀：在用正胶的情况下，利用适当的腐蚀液将SiO2或Al腐蚀掉，而有光刻胶覆盖的区域保存下来。去胶：腐蚀结束后，利用湿法去胶，氧气去胶或等离子体去胶等方法将覆盖在硅片表面的保护胶膜去除。第19页/共47页第20页/共47页Exposure Method:* CONTACT PRINTING - 1x mask required；* DIRECT STEP - 5x mask required；* E-BEAM - no mask required；第21页/共47页第22页/共47页第2

12、6页/共47页EtchProcess that follows immediately after photolithography step is the removal of material from areas unprotected by photoresist. This process must be selective; that is SiO2 is removed while leaving photoresist and silicon intact. It must also be anisotropic; that is etching should be in on

13、e direction only.第27页/共47页Etch Method:Two types of etching processes are used in practice; namely, chemical and physical etching. In purely chemical etching material is removed by dissolution which is highly selective but not anisotropic. In purely physical method material is removed by bombardment

14、of high energy ions which is inherently anisotropic but unselective. As an example, SiO2 which is used as a mask for drive in diffusion is removed by exposure to hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen fluoride reacts with SiO2 to form volatile SiF4 which is swept away by inert argon gas.第28页/共47页湿法刻蚀特点： 选择性高；

16、ich refers to the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor medium.Doping used independently is nonselective, whereas if used in conjunction with pattern definition, it can be selective; introducing impurities into only those areas that you desire.第33页/共47页THERE ARE TWO TECHNIQUES OF DOPING:*

19、 acceptor impurity species, N is the concentration of the impurity, and D is the diffusion coefficient.Ficks second law of diffusion may be derived using the continuity equation for the particle flux: N/ t = D 2N/ x2in which the diffusion coefficient D has been assumed to be independent of position.

20、 This assumption is violated at high impurity concentrations.第38页/共47页Two specific types of boundary conditions are important in modeling impurity diffusion in silicon.The first is the constant-source diffusion(恒定表面浓度扩散), in which the surface concentration is held constant throughout the diffusion.N

During the drive-in, the w

Penetration depths of 500 to 5000 A are easily achieved. Penetration depth depends on size of ion and energy applied. The ions do not penetrate the photoresist layers which are typically 10,000 A thick. By manipulating the acceleration voltage, the average implantation d
