    摘要: A method of isolation in silicon integrated circuit processing overfills the trench by a fill margin, deposits a temporary layer of poly (120) having a thickness less than the trench depth by the thickness of an oxide polish stop (130), so that the top of the polish stop is coplanar with the top of the fill layer outside the trench; the temporary layer is polished outside the trench, using the fill layer and the polish stop layer (130) as polish stops; the polish stop layer is removed together with the same thickness of the fill layer and temporary layer, preserving planarity that is destroyed by selectively etching the fill layer; the remaining temporary layer is stripped and a final touch up polish of the fill layer stops on the pad nitride.

    摘要: A Field Effect Transistor (FET) and a method of forming FETs on a silicon wafer. First, trenches are formed in a surface of the silicon wafer. An ONO layer is formed on the surface, lining the trenches. Potassium is diffused along the ONO layer. Part of the ONO layer is removed to expose the wafer surface with the ONO layer remaining in the trenches. Gate oxide is formed on the exposed wafer surface. Finally, FET gates are formed on the gate oxide. Preferably, potassium is introduced during Chem-Mech polish when the trenches are filled with polysilicon. A slurry containing KOH is used to polish the polysilicon and the potassium diffuses from the slurry along the ONO layer. After chem-Mech polish, the poly in the trenches is recessed by Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) it below the wafer surface. Optionally, after RIE, the wafer may be dipped in a KOH solution. Next, an oxide collar is formed along the ONO layer in the trenches above the recessed polysilicon. The recesses are filled by a second layer of polysilicon that is Chem-Mech polished with the same slurry to remove polysilicon from the wafer surface. The polished polysilicon may be Reactive Ion etched until it is essentially coplanar with the wafer surface. The resulting FET has thicker gate oxide along its sides than in the center of its channel.

    摘要: An FET isolated on either side by a trench. The FET has a dielectric layer in the isolating trench along at least one side. The dielectric layer which may be an ONO layer has an oxidation catalyst diffused into it. The oxidation catalyst may be potassium. Gate oxide along the side of the FET in close proximity to the ONO layer is thicker than gate oxide between both sides.

    摘要: A method for preventing CMP-induced (chemical-mechanical polish) damage to a substrate disposed below a pad nitride layer of a mesa. The pad nitride layer is disposed below a conformally deposited dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is disposed below a conformally deposited polysilicon layer. The method includes planarizing the polysilicon layer down to at least a surface of the dielectric layer using the CMP to expose a first region of the dielectric layer. The method further includes etching partially through the first region of the dielectric layer using first etch parameters. The first etch parameters include an etchant source gas that is substantially selective to the pad nitride layer to prevent the pad nitride layer from being etched through even in the presence of a CMP defect. Additionally, there is also included removing the polysilicon layer after the etching partially through the first region of the dielectric layer.
