    摘要: A reduction in parasitic leakages of shallow trench isolation vias is disclosed wherein the distance between the silicon nitride liner and the active silicon sidewalls is increased by depositing an insulating oxide layer prior to deposition of the silicon nitride liner. Preferably, the insulating oxide layer comprises tetraethylorthosilicate. The method comprises of etching one or more shallow trench isolations into a semiconductor wafer; depositing an insulating oxide layer into the trench; growing a thermal oxide in the trench; and depositing a silicon nitride liner in the trench. The thermal oxide may be grown prior to or after deposition of the insulating oxide layer.

    摘要: In a method for making an electrical connection between a trench storage capacitor and an access transistor in a DRAM cell, the electrical connection (90) is formed through the selectively controlled outdiffusion of either N-type or P-type dopants present in the trench through a single crystalline semiconducting material (60) which is grown by epitaxy (epi) from the trench sidewall. This epitaxially grown single crystalline layer acts as a barrier to excessive dopant outdiffusion which can occur in the processing of conventional DRAMs.

    摘要: A method of forming shallow trench isolation with a nitride liner layer for devices in integrated circuits solves a problem of recessing the nitride liner that led to unacceptable voids in the trench filler material by using a liner thickness of less than 5nm. A densification step of a pyrogenic oxide anneal at 800°C not only drives out impurities and achieves the same density as a conventional argon anneal at 1000°C, but also drastically reduces the thermal load. Trenches (50) are formed as standard in a silicon substrate (10) using a conventional SiO₂ /Si₃N₄ passivation layer (20/30). Then a thin layer (52) of thermal oxide is provided on the trench sidewalls. Fig. 2 illustrates the results of a step according to a thin layer (32) of LPCVD nitride is deposited at a pressure of 200 mTorr with a flow of NH₃:SiH₂C1₂ 10:1 for 2 minutes at 770°C. This layer has been discovered to be immune to the recessing problem.
    An oxide liner (60) made of TEOS SiO₂ is then deposited. The structure is annealed and the TEOS SiO₂ is classified. Finally the structure is planarized and the passivation layer removed. As apparent from the drawings, there is no longer any recess in the LPCVD nitride layer.
