Semiconductor device and semiconductor device manufacturing method
View Patent ↗A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a polysilicon layer fixed to the semiconductor substrate, and a silicon nitride layer in contact with the polysilicon layer, wherein the polysilicon layer includes a n-type layer and a p-type layer in contact with the n-type layer. The semiconductor device manufacturing method includes forming the polysilicon layer covering at least one hydrogen-containing layer, and heating the polysilicon layer and the hydrogen-containing layer.
1. A semiconductor device manufacturing method comprising:
providing a semiconductor substrate;
forming a polysilicon layer covering at least one hydrogen-containing layer, and including an n-type layer and a p-type layer in contact with the n-type layer, comprising:
forming a first portion of the polysilicon layer over the semiconductor substrate, wherein the first portion of the polysilicon layer includes a first portion of the n-type layer and a first portion of the p-type layer in contact with the first portion of the n-type layer;
forming the at least one hydrogen-containing layer on at least a portion of the first portion of the n-type layer and on at least a portion of the first portion of the p-type layer; and
forming a second portion of the polysilicon layer on the at least one hydrogen-containing layer and on at least a portion of the first portion of the polysilicon layer, wherein:
the second portion of the polysilicon layer includes a second portion of the n-type layer and a second portion of the p-type layer in contact with the second portion of the n-type layer, and
the at least one hydrogen-containing layer is present in the n-type layer and the p-type layer; and
heating the polysilicon layer and the at least one hydrogen-containing layer.
2. The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a an additional hydrogen-containing layer over the semiconductor substrate, before the formation of the polysilicon layer covering the at least one hydrogen-containing layer.
