摘要
The use of epitaxial wafers for VLSI device processing offers numerous advantages over polished wafers. These include latch-up control for heavily doped substrates and reduced defects in the near surface region. The crystal originated particle defects (COPs) can be reduced by using a silicon epitaxy layer, resulting in increased device yields. Optimization of the epitaxy process is described for reduction of light point defects, metal contamination, and 300mm wafer sizes.
