Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a device, preferably a semiconductor device, whereby a mask (3) with an opening (4) extending down to a bare body (1) is provided on a surface (2) of this body (1), after which a substance (5) is implanted into the body (1) through the opening (4), upon which the mask (3) is removed. The mask (3) is provided by depositing a first and a second layer (6, 7, respectively) on the surface (2), and these layers are provided with the opening (4), while the first layer (6) can be selectively removed relative to the material of the body (1), and the second layer (7) is of the same material as the body (1). Since the same material is used for the second layer (7) as for the body (1), the body (1) is not polluted with material from the mask (3) in the opening (4) during implantation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of manufacturing a device, in which a mask having an opening extending down to a bare body is provided on a surface of the body, after which a substance is implanted into the body through said opening, after which the mask is removed, characterized in that the mask is provided through consecutive deposition on the surface of a first and a second layer and by providing these layers with the opening, the first layer being selectively removable relative to the material of the body and the second layer comprising the same material as the body.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of manufacturing a device, in which a mask having an opening extending down to a bare body is provided on a surface of the body, after which a substance is implanted into the body through said opening, after which the mask is removed, characterized in that the mask is provided through consecutive deposition on the surface of a first and a second layer and by providing these layers with the opening, the first layer being selectively removable relative to the material of the body and the second layer comprising the same material as the body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the mask is removed by a lift-off technique by the removal of the first layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that remnants of the mask are removed in a megasonically vibrated bath after the lift-off.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the first layer is provided with a greater opening than the second layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that an intermediate layer of a material having a small penetration depth for ions of the substance is deposited in the first layer, after which the second layer is deposited on the intermediate layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body comprises silicon, characterized in that the first layer comprises one of silicon oxide and (oxy)nitride.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that the second layer comprises one of polycrystalline and amorphus silicon.
