    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 trench 13 is formed to isolate a first region 11a and a second region 11b where elements of a semiconductor substrate 11 such as a silicon substrate are formed, and a lamination layer of a first silicon oxide layer 14 having a silicon excess stoichiometry (SiO x ; 2 2 ) having an equilibrium composition is filled in the trench 13. The second silicon oxide layer is hydrated. In addition, by heating the semiconductor substrate 11, the first silicon oxide layer 14 is oxidized into the second silicon oxide layer 15 (SiO 2 ) having an equilibrium composition. At this time, the first silicon oxide layer 14 has its volume expanded while it is oxidized into the second silicon oxide layer 15 having an equilibrium composition, while the second silicon oxide layer 15 is contracted due to dehydration by the heating treatment and removal of a defective lattice. Therefore, the volume expansion of the first silicon oxide layer 14 is offset by the volume contraction of the second silicon oxide layer 15 to reduce extensively a stress to be applied to the semiconductor substrate 11, so that the silicon oxide layer filled in the trench 13 can be densified.

    摘要: When an isolating oxide (15c) is formed in a silicon substrate (11), a side wall (14a) is formed on the inner wall of a mask (14a) consisting of a lower silicon oxide layer (12a) and an upper silicon nitride layer (12b) for forming a groove (11a) in the silicon substrate (11) in such a manner as to be laterally spaced from the inner wall of the upper silicon nitride layer (12b), and the isolating oxide (15c) is formed from a silicon oxide layer deposited over the mask (12b) after removal of the side wall (14a) by using a polishing, thereby preventing the isolating oxide (15c) from undesirable side etching during an etching step for the lower silicon oxide layer (12a).
