Method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a low junction leakage current

A method for manufacturing a DRAM device includes a hydrogenating step conducted to source/drain diffused regions in a hydrogen ambient at a substrate temperature not lower than 350 degrees C., and a dehydrogenating step in an inactive gas ambient at a substrate temperature of lower than 350 degrees...

Summary:A method for manufacturing a DRAM device includes a hydrogenating step conducted to source/drain diffused regions in a hydrogen ambient at a substrate temperature not lower than 350 degrees C., and a dehydrogenating step in an inactive gas ambient at a substrate temperature of lower than 350 degrees C., before a packaging step. If a defective cell having a lower refreshing time is found in the test before the packaging step, the defective cell is replaced by a redundant cell. The resultant DRAM has a lower degradation in the refreshing characteristic after the packaging step.
