Problems solved by technology

The thickness uniformity of silicon epitaxial wafers directly determines the yield and reliability of CCD devices. Therefore, in order to prepare epitaxial wafers that meet the requirements of CCD devices, the uniformity of epitaxial thickness must be strictly controlled. At present, the general requirement for thickness uniformity should not be less than 97%. , but the thickness uniformity control technology of domestic silicon epitaxial wafers has a certain gap compared with foreign countries, and the thickness uniformity is not less than 94%, so it is difficult to meet the requirements of CCD devices

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving the thickness homogeneity of silicon extending slices for a CCD device. The method comprises the steps: major factors of influencing the thickness homogeneity of the silicon extending slices, such as the adjustment of air flows for the growth of the silicon extending slices, the height of a top disc of a base, the rotation manner of the base, and the like, the thickness homogeneity of the silicon extending slices at different positions on the base in a furnace and different local positions in the silicon extending slices is improved, and a process method for obviously improving the thickness homogeneity of the silicon extending slices for the CCD device is provided, so that the silicon extending slices with high thickness homogeneity are obtained, the performance of the prepared CCD device with a large area array and high resolution is greatly improved, and the rate of finished products is increased. The silicon extending slices prepared by the method can meet the requirements of the CCD device with high performance and high-integration density for the thickness and the homogeneity of extending layers. The homogeneity of the silicon extending slices prepared by the process method can be higher than 98 %, which achieves the domestic and foreign advanced level, so that the silicon extending slices can replace import products, and the developing and the preparing process of the domestic CCD can be greatly promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation technology of semiconductor materials, in particular to a method for improving the thickness uniformity of silicon epitaxial wafers for CCD devices. Background technique [0002] As a photoelectric coupling device, CCD has the functions of photoelectric conversion, signal storage and signal transmission, and has been widely used in advanced digital cameras, monitors and camcorders, etc. device. Silicon epitaxial wafer is the key basic material for the production of large area array and highly integrated CCD devices, which can effectively reduce the dark current of the device and improve the responsivity and array size. The thickness uniformity of silicon epitaxial wafers directly determines the yield and reliability of CCD devices.
