摘要:
A storage node for deep trench-based storage capacitor is formed by etching a trench (11) in a surface of a semiconductor substrate (10), forming a layer of dielectric (14) on a sidewall of the trench, partially removing the layer of dielectric material in order to expose an upper portion of the sidewall, growing a layer of oxide (16) on the upper portion of the sidewall, removing the remainder of the layer of dielectric material, doping to form a buried plate (17), forming a node dielectric (18), and forming an inner electrode (19) within the trench. The oxide layer at the upper portion of the trench is preferably formed by a LOCOS technique.

The invention relates to reducing variations in thickness and height of the buried strap of a trench capacitor. Reduced variations in thickness and height is achieved by defining the top of the buried strap by recessing the poly (112) in the trench to the top of the buried strap. The collar (110) is then recessed to below the top surface to define the bottom of the buried strap. A poly layer (122) is deposited to line the sidewalls of the trench top surface of the poly trench fill, and recessed region above the collar. A etch is then used to remove the excess poly layer from the sidewalls and top surface of the poly trench fill, leaving the recessed region above the collar filled to form the buried strap. The etch removes the poly in the vertical and horizontal direction at about the same rate.

Trench capacitors are fabricated utilizing a method which results in a refractory metal salicide as a component of the trench electrode in a lower region of the trench. The salicide-containing trench electrode exhibits reduced series resistance compared to conventional trench electrodes of similar dimensions, thereby enabling reduced ground rule memory cell leats and/or reduced cell access time. The trench capacitors of the invention are especially useful as components of DRAM memory cells.

A pad layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate 102 and a buffer layer 108 disposed within the pad layer such that the pad layer is divided into a dielectric layer 106 below the buffer layer and a mask layer 110 above the buffer layer. A method of forming layers with uniform planarity and thickness on a semiconductor chip includes the steps of providing a substrate having a thermal pad 106 formed thereon, forming a dielectric layer 106 on the thermal pad, forming a buffer layer 108 on the dielectric layer wherein the buffer layer is made from a different material than the dielectric layer and forming a mask layer 110 on the buffer layer wherein the buffer layer is made from a different material than the mask layer.

摘要:
A process for manufacturing a deep trench capacitor in a trench (10). The capacitor comprises a collar (18) in an upper region of the trench and a buried plate (26) in a lower region of the trench. The improvement comprises, before forming the collar in the trench upper region, filling the trench lower region with a non-photosensitive underfill material (16) such as spin-on-glass. The process may comprise the steps of (a) forming a deep trench in a substrate; (b) filling the trench lower region with an underfill material; (c) forming a collar in the trench upper region; (d) removing the underfill; and (e) forming a buried plate in the trench lower region.
