METHOD OF PRODUCING SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE

摘要

A method for reducing the susceptibility of integrated circuit dynamic memory devices to environmentally produced radiation, such as alpha particles, in which a buried layer, having a majority carrier concentration substantially equal to or greater than the concentration of free carriers generated by the radiation and being between one and four orders of magnitude greater concentration than that of the semiconductor substrate, is ion implanted within a few microns of the substrate surface after at least one major high temperature processing step in the manufacturing process has been completed.
