Abstract
According to various embodiments, a method for processing a semiconductor region, wherein the semiconductor region comprises at least one precipitate, may include: forming a precipitate removal layer over the semiconductor region, wherein the precipitate removal layer may define an absorption temperature at which a chemical solubility of a constituent of the at least one precipitate is greater in the precipitate removal layer than in the semiconductor region; and heating the at least one precipitate above the absorption temperature.
