A method of making a semiconductor device and a method of isolation of active islands on a silicon-on-insulator semiconductor device, comprising the steps of providing a silicon-on-insulator semiconductor wafer having a silicon active layer, a dielectric isolation layer and a silicon substrate, in which the silicon active layer is formed on the dielectric isolation layer and the dielectric isolation layer is formed on the silicon substrate; forming an isolation trench, the isolation trench defining an active island in the silicon active layer; rounding at least one corner in the active island by application of a high RF bias power high density plasma; and filling the isolation trench with a dielectric trench isolation material by application of a low RF bias power high density plasma. In one embodiment, the rounding step comprises application of a HDP under etching conditions, and the filling step comprises application of a HDP under deposition conditions.
摘要:
Submicron-dimensioned metallization patterns are formed on a substrate surface by a photo-activated selective, anisotropic etching process, wherein selective portions of a metal layer are exposed to collimated UV passing through a pattern of submicron-sized openings in an overlying exposure mask. At least one photo-activatable etching material contained in a gas flowed through the space between the substrate surface and the mask selectively and anisotropically etches the exposed portions of the metal layer in thereby avoiding numerous masking and etching steps as in conventional photolithographic methodology. The inventive method is of particular utility in performing multi-level, in-laid, “back-end” metallization processing of high-density integrated circuit semiconductor devices.

A field effect transistor (FET) is formed on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate in the thin silicon layer above the insulating buried oxide layer. The channel region is lightly doped with a first impurity to increase free carrier conductivity of a first type. The source region and the drain region are heavily dopes with the first impurity. A gate and a back gate are positioned along the side of the channel region and extending from the source region and is implanted with a second semiconductor with an energy gap greater than silicon and is implanted with an impurity to increase free carrier flow of a second type.

摘要:
A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a physical vapor deposited (PVD) layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. The metal is then formed on the PVD amorphous silicon layer. Additional dopants are implanted into the PVD amorphous silicon layer. An annealing process forms silicide in the gate, with a layer of silicon remaining unreacted. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the PVD amorphous silicon layer, while the additional doping of the PVD amorphous silicon layer lowers the resistivity of the gate electrode.
摘要:
A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a chemical vapor deposited layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. A barrier is then deposited on the CVD amorphous silicon layer. A metal is then formed on the barrier. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the CVD amorphous silicon layer. The work function is preserved by the barrier during subsequent high temperature processing, due to the barrier which prevents interaction between the CVD amorphous silicon layer and the metal, which could otherwise form silicide and change the work function.
