Chapter 1 Basic semiconductor properties What is a Semiconductor? • • • • Low resistivity : 106 104 cm => conductor High resistivity : 1010 1018 cm => insulator Intermediate resistivity: 104 108 cm => semiconductor The uniqueness of semiconductors is that their conductivity can be varied over a wide range, e.g. by – adding minute quantities of impurities – applying electric field – illumination • Simple 3-D Unit cells # of atoms per unit cells SCC : one atom BCC : two atoms FCC : four atoms Figure 1.2 Simple three-dimensional unit cell. (a) Simple cubic unit cell. (b) pedantically correct simple cubic unit cell including only the fractional portion (1/8) of each corner atom actually within the cell cube. (c) Body-centered cubic unit cell. (d) Face-centered cubic unit cell (After pierret.) Simple cubic lattice : packing density Simple cubic lattice : areal density Diamond FCC lattice for Si The Si Crystal • Each Si atom has 4 nearest neighbors • lattice constant = 5.431Å “diamond cubic” lattice How Many Silicon Atoms per cm-3? • Number of atoms in a unit cell: • 4 atoms completely inside cell • Each of the 8 atoms on corners are shared among cells count as 1 atom inside cell • Each of the 6 atoms on the faces are shared among 2 cells count as 3 atoms inside cell Total number inside the cell = 4 + 1 + 3 = 8 • Cell volume: (.543 nm)3 = 1.6 x 10-22 cm3 • Density of silicon atoms = (8 atoms) / (cell volume) = 5 x 1022 atoms/cm3 Specification of vectors normal to a particular plane! Table 1.6 Miller Convention Summary Example…. • Examples use of Miller indices – wafer surface orientation • Size : diameter : 300±0.2 mm • Thickness : 775±25㎛ • Surface orientation : ( 1 0 0 ) or ( 1 1 1 ) – wafer flats and notches Preparation of silicon wafers Polysilicon Seed crystal Crucible 6.
