A semiconductor component includes a semiconductor body, in which are formed: a substrate of a first conduction type, a buried semiconductor layer of a second conduction type arranged on the substrate, and a functional unit semiconductor layer of a third conduction type arranged on the buried semiconductor layer, in which at least two semiconductor functional units arranged laterally alongside one another are provided. The buried semiconductor layer is part of at least one semiconductor functional unit, the semiconductor functional units being electrically insulated from one another by an isolation structure which permeates the functional unit semiconductor layer, the buried semiconductor layer, and the substrate. The isolation structure includes at least one trench and an electrically conductive contact to the substrate, the contact to the substrate being electrically insulated from the functional unit semiconductor layer and the buried layer by the at least one trench.

A process and method for compensating for a radial non-uniformity on a wafer that includes the steps of: centering a rotational thickness non-uniformity of a film on the wafer about the axis of the spin susceptor following a CMP process; positioning a nozzle in the spin processing unit to direct the etching solution along a radius of the wafer; adjusting the flow of the etching solution from the nozzle; adjusting the rotational speed of the spin susceptor to control the residence time of the etching solution; and coordinating the rotational speed of the spin susceptor, flow of etching solution and positioning of the nozzle to maximize the removal of material. The process may be utilized to compensate for the bowl-shaped non-uniformities of an STI oxide. These non-uniformities are compensated for and addressed after a CMP process.
摘要:
A method of fabricating semiconductor circuits having integrated capacitors that have a dielectric or a ferroelectric material between electrodes. The materials are subjected to heat treatment at high temperatures in an oxygen atmosphere for the purpose of crystallization. The dielectric or ferroelectric is heated separately from the semiconductor substrate, is comminuted into small particles and only afterward applied in this form to the semiconductor substrate. This makes it possible to integrate substances with arbitrarily high crystallization temperature without damaging the integrated semiconductor circuit, since the semiconductor substrate itself does not have to be heated. Diffusion barriers for oxygen are unnecessary. Previous limitations on the capacitor capacitance are obviated owing to the free choice of dielectric or ferroelectric made possible, and the packing density of the capacitors is increased.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a patterned layer from a layer material. The method includes steps of: providing a substrate with at least one target region and at least one migration region; applying a layer material; adding a material to the layer material; and performing a heat treatment such that the layer material migrates from the migration region to the target region and a layer which is self-aligned and self-patterned with respect to the target region is formed. The method has the advantage that the layer material, which can often only be etched with difficulty, does not have to be patterned directly. The desired structure of the layer is predetermined by preliminarily structuring the substrate into a target region and a migration region, and is produced by the migration of the layer material as a result of the heat treatment.

The integrated semiconductor memory configuration has a semiconductor body in which selection transistors and storage capacitors are integrated. The storage capacitors have a dielectric layer configured between two electrodes. At least the upper electrode is constructed in a layered manner with a platinum layer, that is seated on the dielectric layer, and a thicker, base metal layer lying above the platinum layer.

A production process for a capacitor electrode formed of a platinum metal includes producing a conductive electrode body on a substrate having a silicon-containing surface for the capacitor electrode. Platinum is deposited over the full surface, the platinum is silicized in a temperature step outside the electrode body and the platinum silicide is removed. The advantage of the invention is the avoidance of an etching process for metallic platinum.
摘要:
A method of producing a platinum-metal structure or pattern on a substrate, which includes the steps of applying a silicon oxide layer to the substrate; applying a mask to the silicon oxide layer which is formed with an opening at a location thereof at which the platinum-metal structure or pattern is to be produced; etching the silicon oxide layer so that the substrate surface area exposed by the opening formed in the mask is larger than the opening in the mask; applying a platinum-metal layer to the mask and the exposed substrate surface area; and removing the silicon oxide layer in an etching process, so that the platinum metal present on the mask is removed simultaneously therewith, and the platinum metal present on the substrate surface forms the platinum-metal pattern or structure.
