Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a method for processing a semiconductor wafer. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor technology is widely used in electronics, optoelectronics, and other fields, where the electrical conductivity of semiconductor materials is a crucial property. To control current flow or separate charges, it is sometimes necessary to create regions with lower electrical conductivity. Currently, methods commonly used to reduce electrical conductivity in semiconductor manufacturing typically require complex process steps and equipment, increasing manufacturing costs.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an improved method for processing semiconductor wafers to overcome the above drawbacks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for processing semiconductor wafers, which has simple process, high production efficiency, low processing cost and is suitable for industrial promotion and use.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the semiconductor wafer processing method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0006] Placing a semiconductor wafer in a reaction chamber, introducing H2 and SiH4 gases into the reaction chamber to form a deposition layer on the surface of the semiconductor wafer; and

[0007] Boron doping gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to dope boron atoms on the surface of the semiconductor wafer.

[0008] Compared to existing technologies, the present invention first forms a deposition layer on the surface of a semiconductor wafer using H2 and SiH4 gases in a reaction chamber. Subsequently, a boron-doping gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to dope the semiconductor wafer with boron atoms. By adjusting the concentration of the boron-doping gas, localized doping and varying the direction, density, and shape of the polysilicon texture are achieved. In this way, the present invention achieves localized doping of the semiconductor wafer, thereby forming regions of reduced conductivity to meet industrial needs. Compared to traditional methods for reducing conductivity, the present invention offers advantages such as a simple process, high production efficiency, and low cost.

[0009] As an example, the doping concentration of the boron atoms is 5×10 18 to 6×10 19 cm -3 .

[0010] As an embodiment, in the step of forming the deposition layer, the temperature of the reaction chamber is 850-1000°C.

[0011] More preferably, the temperature of the reaction chamber is 950°C.

[0012] As an embodiment, the deposition layer is a silicon-containing deposition layer.

[0013] As an embodiment, the method further includes: dynamically adjusting the concentration of the boron doping gas. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The method for forming a light-transmitting waterproof adhesive layer of the present invention is further described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited thereby. The method of the present invention is intended to provide a method for forming a light-transmitting waterproof adhesive layer that is simple and easy to perform, efficiently forms a light-transmitting waterproof adhesive layer having excellent light transmission, waterproof, and high-temperature resistance, and has the advantages of long life and low cost, thus having broad application prospects and market value.

[0019] The following examples further illustrate the semiconductor wafer processing method of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The method of the present invention is intended to provide an improved semiconductor wafer processing method with simple process, high production efficiency, low processing cost, and suitable for industrial promotion and use.

[0020] In one embodiment of the semiconductor wafer processing method of the present invention, the following steps are included:

[0021] Placing a semiconductor wafer in a reaction chamber, introducing H2 and SiH4 gases into the reaction chamber to form a deposition layer on the surface of the semiconductor wafer; and

[0022] Boron doping gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to dope boron atoms on the surface of the semiconductor wafer.

[0023] The present invention first forms a deposition layer on the surface of a semiconductor wafer using H2 and SiH4 gases in a reaction chamber. Subsequently, a boron-doping gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to dope the semiconductor wafer with boron atoms. By adjusting the concentration of the boron-doping gas, localized doping and varying the direction, density, and shape of the polysilicon texture are achieved. This achieves localized doping of the semiconductor wafer, creating regions of reduced conductivity to meet industrial needs. Compared to traditional methods for reducing conductivity, the present invention offers advantages such as a simple process, high production efficiency, and low cost.

[0024] In the present invention, the semiconductor wafer may be a silicon wafer, but is not limited thereto.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a semiconductor wafer is placed in a reaction chamber and the temperature is controlled to be 850-1000°C, preferably 950°C. Then, H2 and SiH4 gases are introduced into the reaction chamber to form a deposition layer, such as a silicon-containing deposition layer, on the surface of the semiconductor wafer.

[0026] Then, doping gas (e.g., boron gas) is introduced into the reaction chamber to control the doping amount on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Specifically, boron gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to control the boron atom doping concentration on the wafer surface to be 5×10 18 to 6×10 19 cm -3This doping concentration can be sufficient to reduce the electrical conductivity of the semiconductor wafer. More preferably, different boron atom doping concentrations can be obtained by dynamically adjusting the concentration or flow of the boron gas, thereby controlling the direction, density and shape of the polysilicon texture.

[0027] Repeat the above steps until the desired conductivity profile is achieved.

[0028] In summary, the present invention first forms a deposition layer on the surface of a semiconductor wafer using H2 and SiH4 gases in a reaction chamber. Subsequently, a boron-doping gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to dope boron atoms onto the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Localized doping and different polysilicon texture directions, densities, and shapes are achieved by adjusting the concentration of the boron-doping gas. In this way, the present invention achieves localized doping of semiconductor wafers, thereby forming regions with reduced electrical conductivity to meet industrial needs. Compared to traditional methods for reducing electrical conductivity, the present invention has the advantages of simple processing, high production efficiency, and low cost.

[0029] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention.
