摘要:
A semiconductor device includes an N⁻ type semiconductor layer (2). The N⁻ type semiconductor layer (2) includes a triangular pole trench (10), an apex portion thereof contains a gate electrode (5). The trench (10) penetrates the semiconductor layer (2) and a P type well region (3) and projects into an N⁺ type source region (4). A source electrode (7) is disposed so as to be insulated from the semiconductor layer (2) by an oxide film (9) and in contact with the well region (3) and the source region (4). A drain electrode (8) is connected to the semiconductor layer (2) through an N⁺ type semiconductor substrate (1). With higher potential at the gate electrode (5) than at the source electrode (7), the well region (3) is partially inverted into N type near the trench (10). Thus, the semiconductor device is turned on due to a channel created associated to the conductivity type inversion. Most of current flow allowed in the semiconductor layer (2) by the channel flows near the trench (10). Hence, even when process patterns are refined, electrode-to-electrode insulation remains undegraded in the semiconductor device, attaining low on-resistance and high off-breakdown voltage.

The semiconductor device has a substrate such as silicon, an insulation layer laminated on the substrate and having a groove or a hole, and a wiring of a conductive material formed in the groove or hole in the insulation layer. The wiring is formed by depositing a conductive material such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy in the groove or hole of the insulation layer by a CVD method utilizing alkylaluminum hydride gas and hydrogen. The groove or hole can be formed by an ordinary patterning method combined with etching.

In accordance with this invention, in manufacturing a semiconductor substrate having a dielectric isolation structure, an approach is employed to form a dielectric film at a semiconductor layer (32) formed by epitaxial growth and grooves for carrying out dielectric isolation to deposit filler (36) thereon thereafter to polish the deposited filler by using the polishing condition where the polishing rate ratio of the filler to the dielectric film is one fifth or less. Thus, an active semiconductor layer where elements are to be formed can be provided with good productivity under the state where the flatness thereof is good and the layer thickness is uniformly and precisely controlled.
摘要:
A dielectrically isolated substrate is comprised of a single-crystal silicon substrate or bond substrate and a single-crystal silicon substrate or base substrate bonded together into a composite structure. The bond substrate has a (110) plane as a main crystal plane and is provided with vertically walled moats and substantially squared islands positioned adjacent to the moats. The moats and islands result from anisotropic etching using a specific mask pattern. Also disclosed is a process for producing the composite structure.

摘要:
In a process for forming dielectrically filled planarized trenches (4; 138, 139) of arbitrary width in a semiconductor substrate (100), a first mask (A) defines active regions (112-114) and subdivides the trench isolation regions into a succession of the trench and plateau regions, where the widths of the trench and plateau regions fall within a dimensional range constrained by the photolithographic precision of the masks and the ability to conformally deposit dielectric material into the trenches. With the first etch mask (A) in place, the substrate (100) is anisotropically etched to form first trenches (117, 118, 119, 121). A conformal deposition of dielectric (124) follows, to form substantially void free trench dielectric, following which the surface is planarized. Next, a second mask (B), defined to be slightly larger than the active regions (112-114), is formed over the substrate (100). A selective etch is then applied to remove the plateau regions (122, 123) and thereby form new trenches approximating in depth the first trenches. A second conformal deposition of dielectric (137) follows, whereafter the surface is again planarized. The substrate surface is now planar and divided into active regions (1-3; 112-114) which are separated by oxide filled, arbitrary width trenches (4; 138, 139).
摘要:
Verfahren zur Erzeugung eines Streifenwellenleiters (2) mit BH-Schichtstruktur, wobei aus der Schichtstruktur ein erhabener Streifen (1) herausgeätzt und dieser Streifen (1) mittels einer Abtragschmelze seitlich angelöst wird. Bei bekannten derartigen Verfahren werden die seitlichen Begrenzungsflächen (21, 22) des Streifens (1) einer Atmosphäre und/oder Chemikalien ausgesetzt. Dadurch haben diese Flächen eine verminderte Qualität, die Ursache für Alterungsmechanismen sind, die ein solcher Streifenwellenleiter (2) zeigt. Zur Erzielung seitlicher Begrenzungsflächen hoher Perfektion wird so vorgegangen, daß die seitlichen Begrenzungsflächen (21, 22) der wellenleitenden Schicht (2) des Streifenwellenleiters von einem von der Abtragschmelze gelösten Teil (5) dieser Schicht (2) abgedeckt belassen werden, und daß dieser Teil (5) mit als Wachstumsschmelze zur Erzeugung einer seitlich an die wellenleitende Schicht (2) angrenzenden Epitaxieschicht (6) verwendet wird.
