    摘要: An improved mask and method of forming a deep and uniform width trench in a substrate and the resulting structure is disclosed. A substrate material such as silicon has deposited thereon a first layer of sacrificial material as a first component of an etch mask, the sacrificial material being a material such as polysilicon that is either etched by or absorbs the same ions which reactively ion etch the substrate. A second layer of material, which resists reactive ion etching, such as silicon dioxide, is deposited over the first layer of material as a second component of the etch mask. The silicon dioxide is patterned in the form of the trench to be formed in the substrate. The layer polysilicon material is then reactive ion etched and the reactive ion etching continued to form a trench in the silicon substrate. The polysilicon acts as a sacrificial material being etched by any ions that are reflected from the silicon dioxide or are directed at an angle such that they strike the layer of polysilicon material. Thus, only those ions which are directed essentially normal to the underlying substrate perform the trench etching. This allows the trench to have essentially straight side walls and to be of essentially uniform width.

    摘要: A method of forming a planarized dielectric filled wide shallow trench in a semi-conductor substrate is provided. A layer of etch stop such as Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 is deposited onto the semi-conductor substrate, and wide trenches are formed through the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 into the substrate by conventional RIE. The surface of the substrate including the trenches have formed thereon a SiO.sub.2 coating, conforming to the surface of the substrate. A layer of etch resistant material such as polysilicon is deposited onto the SiO.sub.2 material. The polysilicon outside the width of the trenches is then removed by chemical-mechanical polishing to expose the SiO.sub.2 there below, while leaving the SiO.sub.2 above the trenches covered with polysilicon. The exposed SiO.sub.2 is then RIE etched down to the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4, leaving a plug of SiO.sub.2 capped with the etch resistant polysilicon over each trench. These plugs are then removed by mechanical polishing down to the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4, to provide a planarized upper surface of SiO.sub.2 and Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 on the top of the substrate. The invention also is useful in forming planarized surfaces on substrates having trenches filled with conductive material.
