    摘要: A method of simultaneously producing doped silicon filled trenches in areas where a substrate contact is to be produced and trench isolation in other areas. Borosilicate glass lines the sidewalls of those trenches where a contact is desired and undoped epitaxially grown silicon fills all the trenches. Subsequent heat processing causes the boron in the borosilicate to dope the epitaxial silicon in those trenches. In the other trenches, the silicon fill remains undoped except at the bottom where a channel stop exists, thereby forming isolation trenches. The contacts formed over the trenches may be formed by selectively deposition of a highly doped silicon into an opening that overlies a portion of the trench and the adjacent substrate surface.

    摘要: A method of forming a thin silicon SOI layer by wafer bonding, the thin silicon SOI layer being substantially free of defects upon which semiconductor structures can be subsequently formed, is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of:a) providing a first wafer comprising a silicon substrate of a first conductivity type, a diffusion layer of a second conductivity type formed thereon and having a first etch characteristic, a thin epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type formed upon the diffusion layer and having a second etch characteristic different from the first etch characteristic of the diffusion layer, and a thin oxide layer formed upon the thin epitaxial layer;b) providing a second wafer comprising a silicon substrate having a thin oxide layer formed on a surface thereof;c) wafer bonding said first wafer to said second wafer;d) removing the silicon substrate of said first wafer in a controlled mechanical manner; ande) removing the diffusion layer of said first wafer using a selective dry low energy plasma process to expose the underlying thin epitaxial layer, the selective dry low energy plasma process providing an etch ratio of the first etch characteristic to the second etch characteristic such that the diffusion layer is removed with minimal formation of any shallow plasma radiation damage to the exposed underlying thin epitaxial layer.

    摘要: A void-free isolated semiconductor substrate is described which contains a pattern of substantially vertically sided trenches within a semiconductor body. The pattern of isolation trenches isolate regions of monocrystalline semiconductor material which may contain active and passive semiconductor devices. A first insulating layer is located upon the sidewalls of the trenches. The base or bottom of the trenches is open to the monocrystalline semiconductor body. An epitaxial layer extending from the base of the trenches fills the pattern of trenches up to a level from the upper surface of the trenches as specified approximately by the equation:y=0.34xwhere y is the distance between the epitaxial layer and the top surface and x is the trench width. The preferred range for the trench width x is about 10 micrometers or less. A polycrystalline silicon layer fills the additional portion of the pattern of trenches above the upper surfaces of the epitaxial layer. A second insulating layer is located on the polycrystalline silicon layer within the trenches for isolation of the pattern of trenches from the ambient. It is the dense epitaxial monocrystalline semiconductor which prevents the formation of voids within the pattern of trenches. The polycrystalline silicon layer above the epitaxial layer completely covers the undesirable sharp faceted structure at the top of the epitaxial semiconductor growth structure.

    摘要: A method and the resulting product for isolating lightly doped silicon islands from each other and from a common substrate. The substrate is covered with a first heavily doped epi layer. The first layer is covered with a lightly doped second epi layer. A pair of spaced deep trenches are provided which extend from the top surface of the second layer, through the first layer and into the substrate. The interior walls of the trenches are lined with oxide. A pair of heavily doped reach-through diffusions extending from said top surface to the first layer is oriented perpendicularly to the deep trenches and fully extends between the trenches. The heavily doped reach-through diffusions and the contiguous first layer are removed by a single anisotropic etching step to yield silicon islands isolated by air except where the islands contact the oxide-lined deep trenches. The air isolation preferably is partially replaced with other dielectric material.
