| 20090004825 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE - A method of manufacturing a semiconductor substrate having a DSB structure that enables simplification of a manufacturing process by optimizing a total thickness of oxides on surfaces of two wafers before being bonded together is provided. The method comprises a process of preparing a first semiconductor wafer and a second semiconductor wafer, a process of bonding the first semiconductor wafer and second semiconductor wafer when a total of thickness of an oxide on the surface of the first semiconductor wafer and that of an oxide on the surface of the second semiconductor wafer is 0.4 nm or more and 1.0 nm or less, and a process of providing heat treatment to a semiconductor substrate after the process of the bonding and before a process of thinning one of the wafers. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100055884 | MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SILICON WAFER - In a manufacturing method for a silicon wafer, a first heat treatment process is performed on the silicon wafer while introducing a first gas having an oxygen gas in an amount of 0.01 vol. % or more and 1.00 vol. % or less and a rare gas, and a second heat treatment process is performed while stopping introducing the first gas and introducing a second gas having an oxygen gas in an amount of 20 vol. % or more and 100 vol. % or less and a rare gas. In the first heat treatment process, the silicon wafer is rapidly heated to first temperature of 1300° C. or higher and a melting point of silicon or lower at a first heating rate, and kept at the first temperature. In the second heat treatment process, the silicon wafer is kept at the first temperature, and rapidly cooled from the first temperature at a first cooling rate. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100197146 | Method of heat treating silicon wafer - In a method of heat treating a wafer obtained by slicing a silicon single crystal ingot manufactured by the Czochralski method, a rapid heating/cooling heat treatment is carried out by setting a holding time at an ultimate temperature of 1200° C. or more and a melting point of silicon or less to be equal to or longer than one second and to be equal to or shorter than 60 seconds in a mixed gas atmosphere containing oxygen having an oxygen partial pressure of 1.0% or more and 20% or less and argon, and an oxide film having a thickness of 9.1 nm or less or 24.3 nm or more is thus formed on a surface of the silicon wafer. | 08-05-2010 |
