    Abstract: 1496814 Semiconductor device passivation SONY CORP 20 March 1975 [30 March 1974] 11691/75 Heading H1K The surface of a semiconductor substrate is passivated by a polycrystalline silicon layer containing from 2 to 45 atomic per cent oxygen. The layer may be applied to the PN junction of a rectifying diode but as described is applied to at least the guard ring protected collector junction of a diffused planar silicon transistor formed in an N type substrate or an N epitaxial layer on an N + substrate. In manufacture the oxide masking used in the diffusion steps is removed and the polycrystalline layer deposited from a mixture of silane and nitrous oxide in a flow of nitrogen with the substrate at 600- 750‹ C., and overcoated with vapour grown silicon dioxide optionally separated from the ploysilicon by a moisture resistant layer, e.g. of aluminium. If silicon tetrachloride is used instead of silane a temperature of 1100‹ C is necessary. Alternative sources of oxygen are NO 2 , NO, O 2 and H 2 O vapour. The oxygen is present as a mixture of silicon monoxide and dioxide at the grain boundaries but is also dispersed in the grains themselves, the dispersion being removed by annealing, e.g. at 1100‹C for 30 minutes. The mean grain size is preferably from 100-1000 Š, and all the grains preferably have sizes within this range. Although the collector breakdown voltage falls with increasing oxygen content the leakage current decreases and if the emitter junction is also covered the amplification factor increases but remains stable.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for polishing a silicon wafer. The method comprises the steps of: (a) supplying a polishing fluid to a polishing surface, the polishing fluid including an alkaline fluid and polishing particles of high-purity silica dispersed in the alkaline fluid, the polishing surface being planar; (b) bringing a silicon wafer in contact with the polishing surface; and (c) moving at least one of the silicon wafer and the polishing surface relative to the other, thereby polishing the silicon wafer. The method is characterized by the following: the polishing surface is made of a ceramic material harder than the silicon wafer and more resistant to mechanochemical polishing than silicon, and the maximum roughness of the ceramic is less than 0.02 mu m.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory having storage cells each comprising a MIS transistor (6, 7, 13) and a capacitor (1, 2, 10) comprises a semiconductor substrate (1), an insulating layer (3) formed on the semiconductor substrate (1), and semiconductor regions (5) formed on the surface of the insulating layer (3). The MIS transistors (6, 7, 13) are formed, respectively, on the surfaces of the semiconductor regions (5) and separated from each other and from the semiconductor substrate (1) by an insulating layer (3), and the capacitors (1, 2, 10) are formed, respectively, under the corresponding MIS transistors (6, 7, 13). A method of manufacturing the semiconductor memory includes a lapping process for lapping the surface of a wafer in forming the semiconductor regions (5) in recesses (4) formed in the insulating layer (3). The lapping process uses an alkaline liquid (156) as a lapping liquid and employs a lapping disc (155) provided with a hard lapping pad (154) to finish the surfaces of the semiconductor regions (5) flush with the surface of the insulating layer (3).
