Abstract: Provided is a technology capable of improving a production yield of a semiconductor device having, for example, IGBG as a semiconductor element. After formation of an interconnect on the surface side of a semiconductor substrate, a supporting substrate covering the interconnect is bonded onto the interconnect. Then, a BG tape is overlapped and bonded onto the supporting substrate and the semiconductor substrate is ground from the backside. The BG tape is then peeled off and an impurity is introduced into the backside of the semiconductor substrate by ion implantation. Then, the supporting substrate is peeled off, followed by heat treatment of the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: Provided is a technology of carrying out activation annealing of n type impurity ions implanted for the formation of a field stop layer (n+ type semiconductor region) and activation annealing of p type impurity ions implanted for the formation of a collector region (p+ type semiconductor region) in separate steps to adjust an activation ratio of the n type impurity ions in the field stop layer to 60% or greater and an activation ratio of the p type impurity ions in the collector region to from 1 to 15%. This makes it possible to form an IGBT having a high breakdown voltage and high-speed switching characteristics. Moreover, use of a film stack made of nickel silicide, titanium, nickel and gold films for a collector electrode makes it possible to provide an ohmic contact with the collector region.

Abstract: To prevent peeling-off of a film in a solder connection pad of a semiconductor device, which peeling-off may occur due to thermal load and so on in the manufacture process, a pad structure is adopted in which a Cr film good in adhesiveness to either of a Ti film or Ti compound film and a Ni film (or a Cu film) is interposed between the Ti film or Ti compound film formed on a silicon or silicon oxide film, and the Ni film (or the Cu film) to be connected to solder. Further, to prevent peeling-off at the interface between the Ti film or Ti compound film and the silicon oxide film, the Cr film is formed in a larger area than the Ti film or Ti compound film.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method to achieve the planarization of a BPSG film and reduction of micro-scratches on a BPSG film by the CMP method. A BPSG film is deposited over a main surface of a substrate on which MISFETs have been formed, and then, a surface of the BPSG film is planarized by the CMP method. Thereafter, a thermal treatment is performed to the substrate to reflow the BPSG film, thereby removing the micro-scratches on the surface of the BPSG film caused by the polishing. At this time, the amount of polishing of the surface of the BPSG film is controlled within a range of 90 to 300 nm, preferably 100 to 250 nm, and more preferably 120 to 200 nm.
