Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor epitaxial wafer and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique
[0002] Semiconductor epitaxial wafers formed with epitaxial layers on semiconductor wafers represented by silicon wafers are used to make MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors), DRAMs (Dynamic Random Access Device substrates for various semiconductor devices such as dynamic random access memory (Dynamic Random Access Memory), power transistors, and back-illuminated solid-state imaging devices.
[0003] Among them, metal contamination is cited as a main factor deteriorating the characteristics of semiconductor devices. For example, in a back-illuminated solid-state imaging device, metal mixed into a semiconductor epitaxial wafer serving as a substrate of the device becomes a factor that increases the dark current of the solid-state imaging device, causing a defect called a white damage defect. The back-illuminated s...
