摘要:
A method of forming a capacitor comprising the following steps. A substrate having a lower low-k dielectric layer formed thereover is provided with the lower low-k dielectric layer having a dielectric constant of less than about 3.0. Metal vertical electrode plates are formed within the lower low-k dielectric layer so that the adjacent metal vertical electrode plates have lower low-k dielectric layer portions therebetween. The lower low-k dielectric layer portions between the adjacent metal vertical electrode plates are replaced with high-k dielectric material trench portions having a dielectric constant of greater than about 3.0.
摘要:
A first method of reducing semiconductor device substrate effects comprising the following steps. O+or O2+are selectively implanted into a silicon substrate to form a silicon-damaged silicon oxide region. One or more devices are formed over the silicon substrate proximate the silicon-damaged silicon oxide region within at least one upper dielectric layer. A passivation layer is formed over the at least one upper dielectric layer. The passivation layer and the at least one upper dielectric layer are patterned to form a trench exposing a portion of the silicon substrate over the silicon-damaged silicon oxide region. The silicon-damaged silicon oxide region is selectively etched to form a channel continuous and contiguous with the trench whereby the channel reduces the substrate effects of the one or more semiconductor devices. A second method of reducing substrate effects under analog devices includes forming an analog device on a SOI substrate and then selectively etching the silicon oxide layer of the SOI substrate to form a channel at least partially underlying the analog device.

摘要:
A CMOS RF device and a method to fabricate said device with low gate contact resistance are described. Conventional MOS transistor is first formed with isolation regions, poly-silicon gate structure, sidewall spacers around poly gate, and implanted source/drain with lightly and heavily doped regions. A silicon dioxide layer such as TEOS is deposited, planarized with chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to expose the gate and treated with dilute HF etchant to recess the silicon dioxide layer below the surface of the gate. Silicon nitride is then deposited and planarized with CMP and then etched except around the gates, using a oversize poly-silicon gate mask. Inter-level dielectric mask is then deposited, contact holes etched, and contact metal is deposited to form the transistor. During contact hole etch over poly-silicon gate, silicon nitride around the poly gate acts as an etch stop. Resulting structure with direct gate contact achieves significantly reduced gate resistance and thereby improved noise performance at high frequency operation, increased unit power gain frequency (f.,), and reduced gate delay.
