    摘要: A technique of producing a semiconductor device or integrated circuit produces a planarized refill layer which has a more uniform thickness after polishing, such as by chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP). Dummy active areas are inserted between active areas in that portion of the substrate which would normally be occupied by a field oxide in order to reduce to "dishing" that occurs during CMP in these areas. The dummy active areas can take the shape of a large block, a partially or completely formed ring structure or a plurality of pillars the area density of which can be adjusted to match the area density of the active areas in that region of the substrate. The design rule for the pillars can be such that no pillars are placed where polycrystalline silicon lines or first level metallization lines are to be placed in order to avoid parasitic capacitances.

    摘要: A contact (26) to a substrate (12) is formed using a first stopping layer (14), an insulating layer (16), and a second stopping layer (18). The second stopping layer (18) promotes a more accurate and controlled removal of the first stopping layer (14). A self-aligned contact (122) may be formed in a similar manner using a first stopping layer (110), an insulating layer (112), and a second stopping layer (114).

    摘要: A self-aligned contact (122) to a substrate (12) of a semiconductor device (100) is formed using a stopping layer (110) overlying the substrate (12). The stopping layer (110) comprising a material selected from the group consisting of silicon-rich nitride, silicon-rich oxide, carbon-rich nitride, silicon carbide, boron nitride, organic spin-on-glass, graphite, diamond, carbon-rich oxide, nitrided oxide, and organic polymer. The stopping layer (110) promotes better semiconductor device (100) performance by contributing to greater selectivity with respect to an etch process used to remove an insulating layer (112) formed overlying the stopping layer (110).
