摘要： A Deep Trench (DT) capacitor in a semiconductor substrate has an isolation collar formed on trench sidewalls above the DT bottom. An outer plate is formed below the collar. Capacitor dielectric is formed on DT walls below the collar. An node electrode is formed in the DT, recessed below the DT top. The collar is recessed in the DT. A combined poly/counter-recrystallizing species cap is formed over the node electrode with a peripheral strap. The cap may be formed after formed a peripheral divot of a recessed collar, followed by forming an intrinsic poly strap in the divot and doping with a counter-recrystallization species, e.g. Ge, into the node electrode and the strap. Alternatively, the node electrode is recessed followed by codeposition of poly and Ge or another counter-recrystallization species to form the cap and strap.

摘要： Process for forming highly conformal titanium nitride on a silicon substrate. A gaseous reaction mixture of titanium tetrachloride and ammonia is passed over the semiconductor substrate surface maintained at a temperature of about 350° C. to about 800° C. The ratio of titanium tetrachloride to ammonia is about 5:1 to 20:1. The high degree of conformality achieved by the process of the invention allows TiN layers to be deposited on structures with high aspect ratios and on complicated, three-dimensional structures without forming a large seam or void.

摘要： The present invention relates to a process of fabricating semiconductor memory structures, particularly deep trench semiconductor memory devices wherein a temperature sensitive high dielectric constant material is incorporated into the storage node of the capacitor. Specifically, the present invention describes a process for forming deep trench storage capacitors after high temperature shallow trench isolation and gate conductor processing. This process allows for the incorporation of a temperature sensitive high dielectric constant material into the capacitor structure without causing decomposition of that material. Furthermore, the process of the present invention limits the extent of the buried-strap outdiffusion, thus improving the electrical characteristics of the array MOSFET.

摘要： An electroplating apparatus and method for depositing a metallic layer on the surface of a wafer is provided wherein said apparatus and method do not require physical attachment of an electrode to the wafer. The surface of the wafer to be plated is positioned to face the anode and a plating fluid is provided between the wafer and the electrodes to create localized metallic plating. The wafer may be positioned to physically separate and lie between the anode and cathode so that one side of the wafer facing the anode contains a catholyte solution and the other side of the wafer facing the cathode contains an anolyte solution. Alternatively, the anode and cathode may exist on the same side of the wafer in the same plating fluid. In one example, the anode and cathode are separated by a semi permeable membrane.

摘要： Methods for fabricating a CMOS structure use a first gate stack located over a first orientation region of a semiconductor substrate. A second gate material layer is located over the first gate stack and a laterally adjacent second orientation region of the semiconductor substrate. A planarizing layer is located upon the second gate material layer. The planarizing layer and the second gate material layer are non-selectively etched to form a second gate stack that approximates the height of the first gate stack. An etch stop layer may also be formed upon the first gate stack. The resulting CMOS structure may comprise different gate dielectrics, metal gates and silicon gates.
