Abstract:
A machine and method for automatically determining the distribution of impurities contained in a semiconductor body. The machine is particularly useful in determining the depth of very shallow junctions in the order of one-half micron and less. The machine successively anodizes the surface of the semiconductor body to produce an anodized semiconductor layer, removes the anodized layer by chemical etching, measures an electrical characteristic, such as spreading resistance and sheet resistance, of the semiconductor body and records the electrical characteristic in terms of the characteristic versus the amount of material removed. The machine automatically repeats this cycle until a resistivity profile for the desired depth of material is obtained. A sharp change will be observed in the recorded profile of the electrical characteristic versus the amount of material removed when a PN junction is crossed.

A MACHINE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING THE DISTRIBUTION OF IMPURITIES CONTAINED IN A SEMICONDUCTOR BODY. THE MACHINE IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN DETEMINING THE DEPTH OF VERY SHALLOW JUNCTIONS IN THE ORDER OF 1/2 MICRON AND LESS. THE MACHINE SUCESSIVELY ANODIZES THE SURFACE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR BODY TO PRODUCE AN ANODIZED SEMICONDUTOR LAYER, REMOVES THE ANODIZED LAYER BY CHEMICAL ETCHING, MEASURES AN ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTIC, SUCH AS A SPREADING RESISTANCE AND SHEET RESISTANCE, OF THE SEIMICONDUCTOR BODY AND RECORDS THE ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTIC IN TERMS OF THE CHARACTERISTIC VERSUS THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL REMOVED. THE MACHINE AUTOMATICALLY REPEATS THIS CYCLE UNTIL A RESISTIVITY PROFOLE FOR THE DESIRED DEPTH OF MATERIAL IS OBTAINED. A SHARP CHANGE WILL BE OBSERVED IN THE RECORDED PROFILE OF THE ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTIC VERSUS THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL REMOVED WHEN A PN JUCTION IS CROSSED.
Abstract:
A FUNCTIONAL PACKAGE FOR COMPLEX ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AND METHOD OF FABRICATION The package comprises a plurality of metal/polymer laminates whereby electronic components or functional units may be directly attached or plugged into laminated elements to form a unitary package. An element or thermal transposer is included in the package to minimize thermal expansion mismatch between the components and the laminates and conduct thermal energy away from the attached electronic components. The polymer laminates are selected to have a configuration and thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) that will permit the insertion and locking of materials within the laminates to form the unitary package. A wide variety of components and functional units having different electrical, thermal characteristics may be included in the package. The package is amenable to mass production processes that may be controlled by a designer to obtain packages at low cost, more flexibility and suitable for complex electronics system.
