    摘要: The method includes providing a semiconductor; forming a non-uniform layer (22) on a surface of the semiconductor (10); subjecting the semiconductor and the non-uniform layer thereon to heat and pressure producing pits (25) in a surface of the semiconductor (10); forming a dielectric (32) over the pitted surface of the semiconductor to provide the dielectric (32) for the capacitor(35). The step of subjecting the semiconductor to heat and pressure producing pits (25) in a surface of the semiconductor comprises the step of subjecting the semiconductor with the dielectric layer thereon to a first anneal and wherein the step of rounding the pits (25') produced in the surface of the semiconductor comprises the step of subjecting the semiconductor to a second anneal. A DRAM cell (40) is provided having a single crystal body. The body has formed therein a transistor (42) and a capacitor (35) coupled to the transistor (42). The capacitor includes a doped single crystal semiconductor portion (27) formed in the body (10), such portion having a pitted surface. The doped semiconductor portion (27) provides a first electrode for the capacitor (35). A dielectric (32) is disposed over the pitted surface of the semiconductor. A second electrode (37) for the capacitor (35) is disposed over the dielectric and electrically is connected to the transistor (42).

    摘要: A method for reducing a capacitance formed on a silicon substrate. The capacitance has, as a dielectric material thereof, a silicon dioxide layer on a surface of the silicon substrate. The method includes the step of introducing hydrogen atoms into a portion of said surface to increase the dielectric constant of such portion of the surface increasing the effective thickness of the dielectric material and hence reducing said capacitance. The method including the step of forming the silicon dioxide layer with a thickness greater than two nanometers. The step of introducing hydrogen comprises the step of forming hydrogen atoms in the surface with concentrations of 10 17 atoms per cubic centimeter, or greater. In one embodiment the hydrogen atoms are formed by baking in hydrogen at a temperature of 950°C to 1100°C and pressure greater than 100 Torr. A trench capacitor DRAM cell is provided wherein the hydrogen provides a passivation layer to increase the effective capacitance around a collar region and thereby reduce unwanted transistor action.

    摘要: A method for processing a semiconductor substrate to form a denuded zone therein. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate having an oxygen concentration in a region of the substrate adjacent to a surface of such substrate. A trench is formed in the surface of the substrate. Subsequent to the formation of the trench, reducing the oxygen concentration within the region.
    The oxygen reducing comprises heating the substrate to reduce the oxygen concentration within the region. The trench forming comprises forming the trench through the region and the oxygen reducing comprises reducing the oxygen concentration in a portion of the region below a bottom portion of the trench. The oxygen reducing step comprises heating the substrate to reduce the oxygen concentration within the portion of the region below the bottom portion of the trench. Reducing the oxygen concentration may first take place within a first portion of the region prior to formation of the trench, such first portion of the region being disposed contiguous to the substrate. With such method, the sidewalls and bottom portion of the trench are exposed to the oxygen reduction process to thereby forming a denuded zone directly adjacent to (i.e., contiguous to) such sidewalls and bottom portion thereby producing a topography aligned DZ (i.e., the DZ follows the profile of the trench).
