    摘要: A method for forming semiconductor device isolation regions including steps of forming a first insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, removing the first insulating film in a portion to become a device isolation region with use of a resist pattern formed in an one-time lithography step as a mask so as to form an opening which reaches the semiconductor substrate, removing the resist pattern to deposit a second insulating film on the first insulating film and the inside of the opening and then etching the entire surface in order to make the second insulating film remain on only the periphery of the bottom of the opening and to expose the surface of the semiconductor substrate in a central portion of the bottom of the opening, forming an oxide film on the surface of the semiconductor substrate exposed in the central portion of the bottom of the opening with use of the first insulating film and the second insulating film on the periphery of the bottom of the opening as a mask by a selective oxidation method, removing the second insulating film on the periphery of the bottom of the opening and then etching the surface of the semiconductor substrate exposed on the periphery of the bottom of the opening with use of the oxide film formed in the central portion of the bottom of the opening by the selective oxidation method and the first insulating film which remains in portions other than the device isolation region as a mask so as to form a trench, and burying the trench with a third insulating film.

    摘要: A semiconductor device manufacturing process and a bias ECRCVD apparatus for carrying out the same. The semiconductor device manufac­turing process comprises steps of forming trenches in the surface of a substrate, forming an insulating film by bias ECRCVD over the surface of the substrate, etching the insulating film by lateral leveling etching to expand the width of grooves formed in portions of the insulating film formed in regions other than those corresponding to the trenches, masking the portions of the insulating film filling up the trenches and removing the portions of the insulating film formed in the regions other than those corresponding to the trenches. An etching stop layer is formed over the surface of the substrate before forming the trenches and the insulating film, and the etching stop layer is removed by etching after removing the portions of the insulating film formed in the regions other than those corresponding to the trenches by etching with the portions of the insulating film filling up the trenches masked.
    The surfaces of the portions of the insulating film filling up the trenches are finished flush with the surface of the substrate. Desirably, the etching stop layer is annealed to make the grains grow making the surface of the etching stop layer smooth to enable the complete removal of the portions of the insulating film formed in the regions other than those corresponding to the trenches.

    摘要: A source diffusion region (104) and a drain diffusion region (102) are formed under an insulation film (106) which is thicker than a gate insulation film (107) and which isolates the adjacent channel regions (105) from each other. The adjacent source and drain diffusion regions (104, 102) are isolated from each other by a trench (103) which extends from the central portion of the thick insulation film (106) to the interior of a semiconductor substrate (101). The trench (103) is formed in a self-alignment manner with reference to the end portions of the adjacent floating gate electrodes (108), and the depth of this trench (103) is determined so that the adjacent source and drain diffusion regions (104, 102) can be spaced sufficiently apart from each other.

    摘要: The method of forming a multiwafer integrated circuit for abutting electrical connection to external electronics is disclosed. The method comprises forming a plurality of grooves (39, 41, 43, 45) in the first surface of each of first and second wafers (35, 37). The grooves are filled with a body of insulating material and joined along the groove surfaces thereof. In one embodiment active circuitry (46) is formed in one of the abutting wafer surfaces. In another embodiment active circuitry is formed in a non-abutting surface of one of the wafers. Conductive leads (48) are applied to the surface of one of the wafers to be in electrical communication with the doped regions (46). At least one of the conductive leads extends across at least a portion of the grooves. The wafers are trimmed in length so that the lengthwise edges of the wafers are defined by the grooves and the butt end of at least one of the conductive leads is exposed. A layer of conductive material is deposited along the lengthwise edge of the wafers in electrical communication with the exposed conductive lead to facilitate communication between the doped regions and external electronics.

    摘要: A void-free isolated semiconductor substrate is described which contains a pattern of substantially vertically sided trenches within a semiconductor body. The pattern of isolation trenches isolate regions of monocrystalline semiconductor material which may contain active and passive semiconductor devices. A first insulating layer (28, 30, 31) is located upon the sidewalls of the trenches. The base or bottom of the trenches is open to the monocrystalline semiconductor body (12). A epitaxial layer (40) extending from the base of the trenches fills the pattern of trenches up to a level from the upper surface of the trenches as specified approximately by the equation: where y is the distance between the epitaxial layer and the top surface and x is the trench width. The preferred range for the trench width x is about 10 micrometers or less. A polycrystalline silicon layer (46) fills the additional portion of the pattern of trenches above the upper surfaces of the epitaxial layer (40). A second insulating layer (48) is located on the polycrystalline silicon layer (46) within the trenches for isolation of the pattern of trenches from the ambient. It is the dense epitaxial monocrystalline semiconductor layer (40) which prevents the formation of voids within the pattern of trenches. The polycrystalline silicon layer (46) above the epitaxial layer (40) completely covers the undesirable sharp faceted structure at the top of the epitaxial semiconductor growth structure.
