METHOD OF THINNING A SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE TO HIGH EVENNESS AND SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE HAVING A DEVICE LAYER OF HIGH EVENNESS

摘要

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is described. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate includes a high-doped semiconductor substrate layer, a high-doped semiconductor device layer, and a low-doped semiconductor etch stop layer arranged between the high-doped semiconductor substrate layer and the high-doped semiconductor device layer. The high-doped semiconductor substrate layer is removed, wherein the removing includes dopant selective chemical etching stopping at the low-doped semiconductor etch stop layer. Further, the low-doped semiconductor etch stop layer is thinned to generate an exposed surface of the high-doped semiconductor device layer.
