A plasma CVD apparatus for forming a deposited film on a base body by introducing a gas of a compound into a chamber and converting the gas into plasma by applying a high frequency electric power, includes a gas feeding pipe leading from the exterior of the chamber into the interior of the chamber, and a heating device. The heating device heats at least a part of the gas feeding pipe inside the chamber, thereby preventing the gas from condensing or solidifying. With this apparatus, plasma CVD can stably be carried out using gases of various compounds which are liquid or solid at room temperature.

A silicon nitride film containing from 20 to 70% oxygen, for use as a surface passivation film, has enhanced ultraviolet ray transmissivity while exhibiting the desirable moisture proofness quality of a silicon nitride film.

UV erasable EPROM with UV transparent silicon oxynitride coating

A plasma chemical vapor deposition method for forming a film on a substrate which is placed on one of a pair of electrodes oppositely arranged within the reaction chamber of a reactor. A plurality of power generators of different frequencies are applied to the electrodes to excite reactive gases introduced into the reaction chamber, whereby the reactive gases are transformed into a plasma and a desired film is formed on the substrate. Film with a small number of pinholes was formed at a relatively high deposition rate by combinations of power generator frequencies of, for example, 13.56 MHz and 1 MHz, 13.56 MHz and 50 KHz, and 5 MHz and 400 KHz.

Process of producing a semiconductor device

A semiconductor device having a deposited phosphosilicate glass film, containing an insubstantial amount of hydrogen and a low phosphorus concentration, is manufactured at a high mass productivity. This semiconductor device is manufactured by first placing plural substrates for semiconductor devices to be treated in a reaction tube so that the main surfaces of the substrates are substantially vertically aligned with respect to one another and are substantially perpendicularly intersected by the central axis of the reaction tube, the reaction tube being provided with at least two gas feed pipes having plural small openings pierced along the longitudinal direction thereof. Second, a silicon compound gas is introduced through one of the gas feed pipes into the reaction tube and an oxidizing gas is introduced through the other of the gas feed pipes into the reaction tube, while the inside of the reaction tube is maintained a reduced low pressure, whereby phosphosilicate glass films are deposited on the main surfaces of the substrates.

A semiconductor device with a fuse including an insulating layer having at least one step. A fusible film on the insulating layer crosses the step and a covering film is formed on the fusible film, the step and the insulating layer. When the portion of the fusible film crossing the step is irradiated with a laser beam the portion of the fusible film on the upper surface of the insulating layer melts and flows onto the lower surface of the insulating layer without forming a hole, thereby separating the fusible film at the step.

Semiconductor device with fuse

Impurity concentration doped in PSG deposited on semiconductor substrates employing chemical vapor deposition process depends on the flow rate of reactive gases in the neighborhood of the first one of the plural semiconductor substrates processed with the same equipment in one batch at the same time. Regulation of the flow rate of the reactive gases in the neighborhood of the first one of the plural semiconductor substrates processed with the same equipment in one batch at the same time is effective to make the impurity concentration doped in PSG uniform for all the semiconductor substrates processed in one batch employing the presently available sealed tube type equipment for vacuum vapor deposition process. The flow rate regulation is possible by monitoring readings of a manometer which is arranged around the inlets thereof and which was calibrated by the flow rate of a nonreactive gas such as nitrogen gas.

A method for drying semiconductor substrates wherein a plurality of semiconductor substrates are irradiated with electromagnetic waves emitted from a waveguide in a non-reactive atmosphere of normal atmospheric pressure while the semiconductor substrates are positioned so that the predominant faces thereof substantially form right angles to the face of an opening of the waveguide.

A method of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of a phosphosilicate glass film on a substrate from a reaction gas mixture including SiH.sub.4, N.sub.2 O and PH.sub.3 is disclosed. This deposition is effected under the conditions such that a mol ratio of N.sub.2 O to SiH.sub.4 (N.sub.2 O/SiH.sub.4) in the reaction gas mixture is 50 or more and that a mol ratio of PH.sub.3 to SiH.sub.4 (PH.sub.3 /SiH.sub.4) in the reaction gas mixture is 0.08 or less. In the phosphosilicate glass film thus deposited, no cracking occurs due to a high temperature heat-treatment and due to the stress, caused by cooling the deposited films to an ordinarily ambient temperature.

Method of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of phosphosilicate

A process for high pressure oxidation of silicon comprising the steps of inserting silicon wafers and an oxidizing substance into a quartz capsule sealing the quartz capsule gas-tightly by fusing, and heating the quartz capsule to generate a high pressure oxidizing atmosphere therein and to form an oxide film on the silicon wafers without a flow of the oxidizing atmosphere. In a case where water is used as the oxidizing substance, the water is frozen and the inside space of the quartz capsule is exhausted before the sealing operation. Furthermore, in a case where an oxidizing gas, e.g. oxygen gas, is used as the oxidizing substance, if the pressure of the gas is higher than the ambient pressure, the quartz capsule is cooled to decrease the gas pressure to a pressure below the ambient pressure before the sealing operation.

A method of making a semiconductor device capable of high-speed operation is disclosed in which when the current gain-bandwidth is increased by the formation of a shallow base region. A side etching process is used to decrease the base spreading resistance and to allow ease in the formation of an emitter region of fine pattern. When the emitter region is formed by using polycrystalline silicon as a source of impurity diffusion, that area of an insulating film on a semiconductor substrate which adjoins the polycrystalline silicon is removed before the impurity diffusion so as to prevent an abnormal diffusion phenomenon.
