摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of sequentially forming a buried region and an epitaxial layer on a major surface of a semiconductor substrate, forming a conductive layer along an annular trench extending to the buried region, filling the annular trench with an insulating material and forming a functional element in said epitaxial layer surrounded by said buried region and said insulating material within said annular trench. In this method, the step of forming the conductive layer along the annular trench is carried out by the steps of forming an annular trench extending through said buried region, and depositing a conductive layer on only a side wall surface of said annular trench.

Measurement of temperature - internal stress characteristics of an Al thin film formed on an Si substrate is performed. The amount of an impurity or impurities mixed in the thin f ilm can be obtained in accordance with the measured characteristics. A migration start temperature of Al atoms in the thin film in the characteristics obtained when the temperature is increased is fed back as information to the thin film formation step, thereby controlling an impurity amount in an atmosphere for forming the thin film.
摘要:
A method for planarizing the surface of an insulation layer deposited on a first interconnection layer to allow a second interconnection layer deposited thereon without causing a breakage of the second interconnection layer. This method is characterized in that at least two insulation films, different in etching characteristics each other, are first formed on the first interconnection layer, and then a resist layer is deposited on the second insulating film. Subsequently, a portion of the resist layer is etched to expose the top surface of the second insulating film, and the second insulating film is selectively and anisotropically etched using the remaining resist layer as a mask. After removing the first insulating film and the remaining resist mark, a third insulating film is deposited to a thickness sufficient to make flat the surface thereof.

A metallization structure having a substantially flat surface can be formed on a semiconductor substrate by forming first and second insulating layers on the substrate. The second insulating layer is selectively removed to form grooves therein. Then, a metallic material layer is conformably formed. The metallic layer has grooves corresponding to the grooves of the second insulating layer. A flowable polymer is applied to the surface of the resultant structure to form a layer having a flat surface. The polymer layer and the metallic layer are sequentially ion-etched to expose the second insulating layer. Thus, the metallization structure constituted by the remaining metallic layer and the second insulating layer is formed to have a flat surface.
