摘要:
A method of semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication including a technique for forming punch-through control implants (e.g., 37, 39) is disclosed. After gate (e.g., 13, 15) formation, a dielectric (e.g., 17) is formed which covers the gate (e.g., 13, 15) and exposed portions of a semiconductor substrate (e.g., 11). The dielectric is formed by a process which makes that portion of the dielectric adjacent the gate sidewalls more vulnerable to wet etching than those portions of the dielectric which are adjacent the top of the gate and the exposed substrate. The dielectric is then subsequently etched to form channels (e.g., 29, 31) adjacent the gate which exposed the substrate and served to collimate an ion (e.g., 35) implantation beam. The remaining portions of the dielectric may then be stripped away and conventional procedures employed to form source (e.g., 45) and drain (e.g., 47). Illustratively, the dielectric is formed from TEOS to which NF 3 is added during the deposition process. The addition of NF 3 makes that portion of the dielectric which forms adjacent the gate sidewalls particularly vulnerable to hydrofluoric acid etching while those portions of the dielectric covering the substrate and covering the gate (e.g., 13, 15) are not so vulnerable.

Oxide (R m 0 n ) films are grown by evaporation from separate sources of element (R) and an oxide (M r O s ) which serves as the oxygen source. The oxide (M r O s ) should sublimate congruently; i.e., without decomposing into oxygen and its constituent element (M). On the growth surface this oxide (M r O s ) can react with the element (R) to form another oxide (R m O n ) that is thermodynamically more stable: Using this technique, films of Al z O 3 , MgO, Si0 2 and MgAl 2 O 4 have been grown using As 2 0 3 or Sb 2 0 3 as the oxygen source.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a metallization scheme with an air gap formed by vaporizing a filler polymer material. The filler material is covered by a critical permeable dielectric layer. The method begins by forming spaced conductive lines over a semiconductor structure. The spaced conductive lines have top surfaces. A filler material is formed over the spaced conductive lines and the semiconductor structure. The filler material is preferably comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of polypropylene glycol (PPG), polybutadine (PB) polyethylene glycol(PEG), fluorinated amorphous carbon and polycaprolactone diol (PCL) and is formed by a spin on process or a CVD process. We etch back the filler material to expose the top surfaces of the spaced conductive lines. Next, the semiconductor structure is loaded into a HDPCVD chamber. In a critical step, a permeable dielectric layer is formed over the filler material. The permeable dielectric layer has a property of allowing decomposed gas phase filler material to diffuse through. In another critical step, we vaporize the filler material changing the filler material into a vapor phase filler material. The vapor phase filler material diffuses through the permeable dielectric layer to form a gap between the spaced conductive lines. An insulating layer is formed over the pexraeable dielectric layer.
摘要:
A thin film having a low dielectric constant is formed on a semiconductor substrate by plasma reaction using a method including the steps of: (i) introducing a reaction gas into a reaction chamber for plasma CVD processing wherein a semiconductor substrate is placed on a lower stage; and (ii) forming a thin film on the substrate by plasma reaction while reducing or discharging an electric charge from the substrate surface. In the reaction chamber, an upper region for plasma excitation and a lower region for film formation on the substrate are formed. An intermediate electrode is used to divide the interior of the reaction chamber into the upper region and the lower region. The discharge can also be conducted by lowering the temperature of the lower stage to condense moisture molecules on the substrate surface, especially by using a cooling plate disposed between the intermediate electrode and the lower stage.
