Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of adjusting a particle size in a polysilicon layer, and to provide a device manufactured by the method. SOLUTION: In the method, the polysilicon layer is formed on a substrate and the particle size in the polysilicon layer is adjusted so that the average resulting particle size of the polysilicon layer after a polysilicon particle-size adjusting ion is injected into the layer and prescribed annealing is performed on the layer becomes higher or lower than an average resulting particle-size that must be obtained after the same annealing is performed on the polysilicon layer without injecting the ion into the layer by injecting the particle-size adjusting ion into the polysilicon layer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming, at least, one interface region between two semiconductor material regions. SOLUTION: Dielectric regions 9 are partially formed at an interface 5 between a single crystal silicon 1 and a polycrystalline silicon 3. The dielectric regions 9 are formed by injecting nitrogen atoms into the single crystal silicon 1. The formed dielectric regions 9 have thickness of 1 to 10 Å. A dielectric layer is provided at an interface between two silicons by the use of nitrogen, by which each wafer can be controlled in electric resistance at an interface. In an NPN transistor, a dielectric layer is formed between an emitter and a contact, by which a base current and a current gain β can be controlled.
