[Technical background of the invention and its problems] In recent years, in the field of semiconductor industry, SOI (Silicon On
Research and development into technology for forming insulator films is gaining momentum. In this technology, an insulating film such as a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride film is formed on a silicon single crystal substrate, a polycrystalline silicon film or an amorphous silicon film is deposited on top of the insulating film, and then an insulating film such as an electron beam or a laser beam is deposited on top of the insulating film. A method is adopted in which the silicon film is melted and recrystallized by beam irradiation to grow a silicon single crystal layer.

By the way, in the conventional electron beam annealing method, a narrowly focused electron beam (Gaussian distribution) is
The specimen surface is uniformly annealed by scanning in the Y direction. In this case, the diameter of the commonly used electron beam is about 10 to 500 [μm], and the width of the silicon film that can be melted in one beam scan is approximately the above beam diameter. It was inappropriate for the purpose of obtaining it. This is because it is difficult to suppress the occurrence of grain boundaries in areas where scanning lines overlap.

Recently, as shown in Figure 11, a promising technology has been developed to create a pseudo-linear electron beam by deflecting a narrowly focused electron beam at high speed in a direction perpendicular to its scanning direction, thereby forming a wide molten region. ing. In this case, the length of the linearized beam is determined by the amplitude of the high-speed deflection, and in principle there is no limit to its length. However, when a spot beam with a constant beam current is deflected at high speed, as the amplitude increases, the temperature of the sample surface irradiated with the electron beam decreases as shown in FIG. In order to manufacture a semiconductor crystal layer, it is necessary to sufficiently melt the semiconductor film. Therefore, to increase the fast deflection amplitude,
Beam current must be increased. Under these circumstances, the length of the linearized beam is actually determined by the limit of the beam current (ie, the brightness characteristics of the electron gun).

On the other hand, in the production of a single crystal layer using the above-mentioned pseudo-linear electron beam, there is a problem of controlling the temperature distribution in the length direction of the linearized beam on the surface of the sample irradiated with the beam. Originally, compared to the method using a linear electron beam that uses a linear electron beam emitter to project a linear beam onto the sample surface, the method using the pseudo-linear electron beam described above provides better control over the intensity distribution of the electron beam. However, the intensity distribution of the electron beam changes depending on the voltage waveform used for high-speed deflection. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the silicon surface temperature distribution in the linearization direction when high-speed deflection is performed using a sine wave. As a characteristic of a sine wave, there are two temperature peaks near both ends of the amplitude, and the temperature in the center is lower than in these parts. Therefore, if the vicinity of both ends of the quasi-linear beam is appropriately melted when the sample is irradiated with an electron beam, the vicinity of the center will not be melted. Therefore, it is difficult to uniformly anneal the sample surface.

In order to solve this problem, it is possible to use a waveform such as a triangular wave, in which the existence probability of the electron beam is constant regardless of the position within the amplitude, instead of using a sine wave.
As the high-speed deflection frequency increases, waveform distortion increases and becomes closer to the characteristics of a sine wave, making it difficult to solve the above problem. High speed deflection signals require frequencies on the order of MHz. This is because, as shown in FIG. 14, the sample surface temperature fluctuates greatly due to the instantaneous difference in the position of the electron beam (the phase of the deflection waveform). And this variation is ~2
It becomes negligibly small at frequencies above [MHz].

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to control the temperature distribution in the length direction of the pseudo-linear beam to make it flat, and to make the temperature distribution at the outer periphery of the electron beam irradiation part gentle. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor single crystal layer, which can minimize thermal strain generated within a sample and manufacture a high quality single crystal layer.

The gist of the present invention is to amplitude modulate (AM) the high-frequency voltage waveform used for high-speed deflection with a waveform of a lower frequency when deflecting an electron beam in one direction at high speed to form a pseudo-linear beam. The purpose of this method is to control the intensity distribution of the linearized beam, thereby forming a uniform, large-area semiconductor single crystal layer.

The beam intensity distribution in the beam linearization direction can be changed by controlling the amplitude B of the modulation signal and the amplitude A of the fundamental wave as shown in FIG. The waveform in FIG. 1 is expressed as Y=(A・sinω 1 t+B)・sinω 2 t. ω 1 and ω 2 are the frequencies of the modulated wave and the fundamental wave, respectively. A/B represents the modulation degree m. FIG. 2 shows the electron beam existence probability density distribution when the modulation degree m is used as a parameter. Here, B=1. When m=0 and no amplitude modulation is performed, there is a huge peak of the existence probability density at the beam position Y=1, and the distribution becomes gentler as it approaches the center. The temperature distribution on the sample surface when irradiated with an electron beam having such an intensity distribution is shown in FIG. Note that the reason why the temperature peak becomes smaller in FIG. 13 is that heat diffusion occurs on the sample to be annealed.

Moreover, as m is increased from FIG. 2 to m=0.2 and m=0.5, the peak of the electron beam existence probability density becomes smaller, and the difference from the value at the center becomes smaller. When the peak becomes smaller and the difference from the value at the center becomes smaller, the above-described thermal diffusion is also added, and the temperature distribution on the surface of the sample to be annealed becomes more uniform. Furthermore, as the peak becomes smaller, the temperature gradient with respect to the periphery of the annealing region also becomes smaller. Therefore, the non-uniformity of temperature distribution as shown in Fig. 13 can be significantly reduced by optimizing the value of m.
It becomes possible to uniformly melt the semiconductor layer. Appropriate conditions are provided for the value of m between about 0.2 and 0.8, but the optimum value varies depending on the structure of the annealed sample, temperature conditions, etc.

By the way, when a simple sine wave whose waveform in the positive and negative directions is symmetrical with respect to the reference potential as described above is used as a modulating wave, the peak of the electron beam existence probability density always stands at one point as shown in the above-mentioned FIG. The peak value will be relatively large. This peak becomes a factor that prevents the temperature distribution within the molten layer from becoming strictly uniform.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, an electron beam is used which is deflected at high speed by an electric signal subjected to amplitude modulation a plurality of times. In this case, the electron beam existence probability density shown in FIG. 2 has peaks at multiple points, and the peak value becomes small. This makes it possible to more precisely control the temperature of the melting region.

The present invention focuses on these points, and in a method for manufacturing a semiconductor single crystal layer in which a polycrystalline or amorphous semiconductor film formed on an insulating substrate is annealed by scanning an electron beam, amplitude modulation is performed multiple times. In this method, the electron beam is deflected in one direction by an applied electric signal, and the beam is scanned over the semiconductor film in a direction crossing this direction.

According to the present invention, the temperature distribution in the length direction of the pseudo-linear beam can be controlled (made flat),
It is possible to achieve uniform melting and solidification of a wide range of semiconductor layers. Furthermore, since the electron beam existence probability density can have multiple peaks and be small, it is possible to more precisely control the temperature of the melting region. Therefore, a high quality semiconductor single crystal layer with small residual thermal strain can be manufactured over a large area. Furthermore, by changing the modulation waveform to create optimal annealing conditions according to the annealing temperature detected by the non-contact temperature sensor, a temperature drop caused by heat diffusion to the surroundings at the edge of the annealing region is prevented. The temperature distribution in the length direction of the linearized beam can be completely averaged, thereby achieving uniform crystal growth.
