    摘要: A plasma-based method for the deposition of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings is described. The process uses a radio-frequency inductively coupled discharge to generate a plasma at relatively low gas pressures. The deposition process is environmentally friendly and scaleable to large areas, and components that have geometrically complicated surfaces can be processed. The method has been used to deposit adherent 100-400 nm thick DLC coatings on metals, glass, and polymers. These coatings are between three and four times harder than steel and are therefore scratch resistant, and transparent to visible light. Boron and silicon doping of the DLC coatings have produced coatings having improved optical properties and lower coating stress levels, but with slightly lower hardness.

    摘要: In a fin field effect transistor (FET), an active pattern protrudes in a vertical direction from a substrate and extends across the substrate in a first horizontal direction. A first silicon nitride pattern is formed on the active pattern, and a first oxide pattern and a second silicon nitride pattern are sequentially formed on the substrate and on a sidewall of a lower portion of the active pattern. A device isolation layer is formed on the second silicon nitride pattern, and a top surface of the device isolation layer is coplanar with top surfaces of the oxide pattern and the second silicon nitride pattern. A buffer pattern having an etching selectivity with respect to the second silicon nitride pattern is formed between the first oxide pattern and the second silicon nitride pattern. Internal stresses that can be generated in sidewalls of the active pattern are sufficiently released and an original shape of the first silicon nitride pattern remains unchanged, thereby improving electrical characteristics of the fin FET.

    摘要: A method of forming a fin field effect transistor on a semiconductor substrate includes forming a vertical fin protruding from the substrate. A buffer oxide liner is formed on a top surface and on sidewalls of the fin. A trench is then formed on the substrate, where at least a portion of the fin protrudes from a bottom surface of the trench. The trench may be formed by forming a dummy gate on at least a portion of the fin, forming an insulation layer on the fin surrounding the dummy gate, and then removing the dummy gate to expose the at least a portion of the fin, such that the trench is surrounded by the insulation layer. The buffer oxide liner is then removed from the protruding portion of the fin, and a gate is formed in the trench on the protruding portion of the fin.
