Latest Patents

Postulka is credited with 1 patent: “Methods of Manufacturing Semiconductor Devices and Semiconductor Devices.” The disclosed method uses two annealing steps: first, an inert-environment anneal that dissolves inner-wall oxide in voids within the substrate; then, a wet-oxidation anneal that fills those voids with semiconductor interstitials. The patent describes using an unpolished CZ silicon substrate and, in some examples, material from an ingot grown in a magnetic field with continuous counter-doping. The approach aims to reduce crystal-originated particle defects and oxygen concentration, while also reducing radial resistivity variation.
