Method for producing epitaxial wafer with buried diffusion layer and epitaxial wafer with buried diffusion layer

摘要

There is disclosed a method for producing an epitaxial wafer with a buried diffusion layer comprising: implanting an impurity into a silicon single crystal wafer; subsequently diffusing the impurity in the wafer to form a diffusion layer; at least removing an oxide film on the diffusion layer; and thereafter forming a silicon epitaxial layer over the wafer to produce a silicon epitaxial wafer with a buried diffusion layer; wherein at least the oxide film on the diffusion layer is removed by etching with hydrofluoric acid to which a surfactant is added, and then the silicon epitaxial layer is formed. There can be provided a method for producing an epitaxial wafer with a buried diffusion layer in which generation of crystal defects in a silicon epitaxial layer is reduced effectively and an epitaxial wafer with a buried diffusion layer.
