7 Dopants Si is semiconductor: R conductor < R intrinsicsi < R insulator Dopants = impurity atoms Can vary conductivity by orders of magnitude Dopant atom displaces 14 Si atom in crystal Each 14 Si atom shares 4 electrons with its 4 neighbors in the crystal lattice, to form chemical bond Group (column) IV-A of Periodic Table cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 7
8 Donor Atoms Provide Electrons Group V-A of Periodic Table Phosphorus, 15 P, and Arsenic, 33 As 5 electrons in outer shell, 1 more than needed Excess electron not held in bond is free to drift If concentration of donors > acceptors, n-type Si cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 8
9 Acceptor Atoms Remove Electrons from Nearby Atoms Group III-A of Periodic Table Boron, 5 B 3 electrons in outer shell, 1 less than needed Incomplete bond, accepting electron from nearby atom Movement of electron is effective flow of positive current in opposite direction If concentration of acceptors > donors, p-type Si cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 9
10 Epitaxy Greek for arranged upon or upon-ordered Grow single-crystal layer on single-crystal substrate Homoepitaxy Layer and substrate are same material Heteroepitaxy Layer and substrate differ Elevate temperature of Si wafer surface Subject surface to source of dopant cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 10
11 Deposition and Ion Implantation Deposition Evaporate dopant onto Si wafer surface Thermal cycle Drives dopant from Si wafer surface into the bulk Ion Implantation Energize dopant atoms When they hit Si wafer surface, they travel below the surface cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 11
12 Diffusion At temperature > 800 C Dopant diffuses from area of high concentration to area of low After applying dopant, keep temperature as low as possible in subsequent process steps cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 12
13 Common Dopant Mask Materials Photoresist Polysilicon (gate conductor) SiO 2 = Silicon dioxide (gate insulator) SiN = Silicon nitride cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 13
14 Selective Diffusion Process 1.Apply dopant mask material to Si wafer surface Dopant mask pattern includes windows 2.Apply dopant source 3.Remove dopant mask material cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 14

19 Lithographic Printing Contact printing Proximity printing Projection printing Refraction projection printing Reflection projection printing Catadioptric projection printing cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 19
20 Contact and Proximity Printing Contact printing 0.05 atm < pressure < 0.30 atm Proximity printing 20 µm < mask-wafer separation < 50 µm Pro Low cost Mask lasts longer because no contact Con Inferior resolution cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 20
21 Projection Printing Projection printing Higher resolution than proximity printing Numerical Aperture It was once believed that a high NA is always better. If NA too low, can't achieve resolution If NA too high, can't achieve depth of field DOF = lambda/(2 NA 2 ) cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 21
22 Refraction Projection Printing High resolution To transmit deep UV, optical components are Fused silica Crystalline fluorides Lenses are fused silica Chromatic Source bandwidth must be narrow KrF laser cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 22
23 Reflection and Catadioptric Projection Printing Reflection projection printing Polychromatic, larger spectral bandwidth Catadioptric projection printing Combines reflecting and refracting components Larger spectral bandwidth More than one optical axis Aligning optical elements can be very difficult cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 23
24 Minimum Channel Length and Gate Insulator Thickness Improve Performance I ds = Beta(V gs V t ) 2 / 2 Beta mu = MOS transistor gain factor = ( (mu)(epsilon) / t ox )( W / L ) = channel carrier mobility epsilon = gate insulator permittivity (SiO 2 ) t ox = gate insulator thickness W / L = channel dimensions cmpe222_03process_ppt.ppt 24
