20090275212 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER AFTER IMPURITY IMPLANTATION - A semiconductor wafer implanted with impurities is loaded into a chamber. After oxygen gas is introduced around the semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor wafer is irradiated with a flash of light from flash lamps for an irradiation time not shorter than 0.1 milliseconds and not longer than 100 milliseconds, to thereby momentarily raise the surface temperature of the semiconductor wafer up to not lower than 800° C. and not higher than 1300° C. Since the temperature rises in an extremely short time, it is possible to activate the impurities while suppressing thermal diffusion thereof. Further, since an extremely thin oxide film is formed on a surface of the semiconductor wafer, this film serves as a protection film in a subsequent cleaning process, to prevent removal of the impurities. | 11-05-2009 |

Absorbing the flash light causes the temperature of the carbon thin film to increase. The surface temperature of the silicon substrate implanted with impurities is therefore increased to be higher than that in a case where no thin film is formed, and the sheet resistance value can be thereby decreased. When the semiconductor wafer with the carbon thin film formed thereon is irradiated with flash light in high concentration oxygen atmosphere, since the carbon of the thin film is oxidized to be vaporized, removal of the thin film is performed concurrently with flash heating. | 10-28-2010 |
20120093492 | APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF HEAT-TREATING THIN FILM ON SURFACE OF SUBSTRATE - A semiconductor wafer having a surface with a thin film formed thereon is transported into a chamber and held by a holder. After an atmosphere provided in the chamber is replaced, flashes of light are directed from flash lamps in a light irradiation part toward the semiconductor wafer to perform a baking process on the thin film. The irradiation of the semiconductor wafer with light from halogen lamps in the light irradiation part also starts at the same time as the irradiation thereof with the flashes of light. The flashes of light emitted for an extremely short period of time and having a high intensity allow the surface temperature of the thin film to rise momentarily. This prevents the occurrence of abnormal grain growth resulting from prolonged baking in the film. | 04-19-2012 |

20120244725 | HEAT TREATMENT METHOD AND HEAT TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR HEATING SUBSTRATE BY IRRADIATING SUBSTRATE WITH LIGHT - First irradiation which causes an emission output from a flash lamp to reach its maximum value over a time period in the range of 1 to 20 milliseconds is performed to increase the temperature of a front surface of a semiconductor wafer from a preheating temperature to a target temperature for a time period in the range of 1 to 20 milliseconds. This achieves the activation of the impurities. Subsequently, second irradiation which gradually decreases the emission output from the maximum value over a time period in the range of 3 to 50 milliseconds is performed to maintain the temperature of the front surface within a ±25° C. range around the target temperature for a time period in the range of 3 to 50 milliseconds.

An insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is connected with a power supply circuit to a flash lamp, and the IGBT makes an energization period to the flash lamp to be 0.01 millisecond or more and 1 millisecond or less, consequently making a flash light irradiation time to be 0.01 millisecond or more and 1 millisecond or less. Since a flash heat treatment is performed with a remarkably short flash light irradiation time, the excessive heating of the thin film of amorphous silicon is suppressed and harmful influence such as the exfoliation of the film is prevented. | 03-28-2013 |

First irradiation from a flash lamp is performed on the semiconductor wafer to increase the temperature of a front surface of the semiconductor wafer from a preheating temperature to a target temperature for a time period in the range of 3 milliseconds to 1 second. Subsequently, second irradiation from the flash lamp is performed to maintain the temperature of the front surface of the semiconductor wafer within a ±25° C. range around the target temperature for a time period in the range of 3 milliseconds to 1 second.

First irradiation from a flash lamp is performed on the semiconductor wafer with the nickel film deposited thereon to increase the temperature of a front surface of the semiconductor wafer from a preheating temperature to a target temperature for a time period in the range of 1 to 20 milliseconds. Subsequently, second irradiation from the flash lamp is performed to maintain the temperature of the front surface of the semiconductor wafer within a ±25° C. range around the target temperature for a time period in the range of 1 to 100 milliseconds. This causes nickel silicide to grow preferentially in a direction perpendicular to the semiconductor wafer. | 03-28-2013 |

Subsequently, the temperature of the semiconductor wafer subjected to the flash heating is maintained at an annealing temperature by irradiating the semiconductor wafer with light from halogen lamps. An annealing process after the flash heating is performed in an atmosphere of a gas mixture of hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas. The annealing process is performed on the semiconductor wafer in the atmosphere of the hydrogen-nitrogen gas mixture, so that defects present near the interfaces of the high dielectric constant film are eliminated by hydrogen termination. | 12-19-2013 |
