The present invention is a method of capping with a high compressive stress oxide, a boron phospho-silicate glass (BPSG) interlayer dielectric (ILD) gapfill that has been deposited on a topographic silicon substrate, in order to eliminate the formation of cracks in subsequently deposited silicon nitride (SiN) layers, other subsequently deposited high tensile stress layers and cracks that result from other post-BPSG deposition high temperature processes.

A method for forming a trenched polysilicon structure can be applied to a semiconductor device. The method includes steps of: a) providing a polysilicon layer; b) forming a dielectric layer on the polysilicon layer; c) forming a rugged oxide layer on the dielectric layer; d) removing a portion of the dielectric layer which is not covered by the rugged oxide layer for exposing a corresponding portion of the polysilicon layer; e) forming a plurality of microtrenches by etching the corresponding portion of the polysilicon layer; and f) removing the rugged oxide layer and the dielectric layer to obtain the trenched polysilicon structure.

The present invention is related to a method for increasing utilzable surface area of a rugged polysilicon layer in a semiconductor device. The present method includes steps of: (a) providing a pre-grown rugged polysilicon layer which is composed of polysilicon with first dopants doped therein; (b) forming another polyslicon layer on the pre-grown rugged polysilicon layer; (c) removing a portion of the another polysilicon layer by an anisotropic etching process to expose an upper surface of the pre-grown rugged polysilicon layer; and (d) etching the resulting pre-grown rugged polysilicon layer which an etching selectivity ratio of the pre-grown rugged polysilicon layer to the another polysilicon layer being greater than one, to obtain the rugged polysilicon layer having increasing utilizable surface area. A semiconductor device containing the rugged polysilicon layer created according to the present invention can work well in a relatively dense and small semiconductor chip.

A method for forming a planarization layer on a semiconductor device including the steps of first providing a substrate, then depositing a layer of a silicon-rich oxide material, then forming metal interconnects on the silicon-rich oxide layer, and depositing a TEOS-ozone oxide layer over the metal interconnects and the silicon-rich oxide layer such that a substantially planar surface is obtained.
摘要:
A passivation layer is provided over a conductive layer for contacting the active elements of semiconductor device structures in and on a semiconductor substrate. The passivation and conductive layers are patterned simultaneously. A thin oxide layer is deposited over the patterned conductive and passivation layers. The thin oxide layer is covered with a spin-on-glass layer to fill the valleys of the patterned conductive and passivation layers. The spin-on-glass layer is cured and then partially blanket anisotropically etched through its thickness and through the thin oxide layer to the underlying passivation layer at its highest point leaving spin-on-glass layer portions in the valleys. A top dielectric layer is deposited over the spin-on-glass layer to complete the planarization. Alternatively, an anisotropic oxide is deposited over patterned conductive lines of an integrated circuit. This anisotropic oxide deposits preferentially on the horizontal surfaces and relatively little on the vertical surfaces. The anisotropic oxide layer is covered with a spin-on-glass layer to fill the valleys of the patterned conductive layer. The spin-on-glass layer is cured and then partially blanket anisotropically etched through its thickness to the underlying anisotropic layer at its lowest point leaving spin-on-glass layer portions in the valleys. A top dielectric layer is deposited over the spin-on-glass layer to complete the planarization.
摘要:
A new method of completing a tungsten contact is described. An insulator layer is formed over device structures in and on a semiconductor substrate. The insulator layer is flowed to planarize the layer. The insulator layer is covered with a spin-on-glass layer which is baked and cured. Contact openings are formed through the insulator and spin-on-glass layers to the device structures and to the substrate. A nucleation layer is formed over the spin-on-glass layer and within the contact openings. A layer of tungsten is deposited over the nucleation layer. The tungsten layer is etched back, thereby leaving the tungsten layer within the contact openings and leaving some of the tungsten layer as residue overlying the spin-on-glass layer. The spin-on-glass layer is removed, thereby removing any tungsten layer residue overlying the spin-on-glass layer. The contacts are completed by an aluminum metalization.
