    摘要: According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stress-reducing region formed on a wafer allows standard bulk CMOS (non-SOI) devices and SOI devices to be reliably fabricated on the same wafer. The high-stress interface that typically exists between the SOI device regions and the non-SOI device regions is transferred to a region where the high-stress will be reduced and relaxed. Typically, this means that the high-stress interface will be fabricated so as to lie over a region of the wafer similar to Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) regions. In addition, by using another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a coplanar wafer surface can be maintained for a wafer which includes both bulk CMOS devices and SOI devices. This is accomplished by etching the silicon wafer in the SOI device regions prior to the oxygen implantation so that the surface of the area between the stress interface regions is lower than the overall surface of the remainder of the wafer. Then, when the SiO.sub.2 region is formed for the SOI devices, the expansion of the SOI region will bring the surface of the SOI device area up to the overall surface of the wafer. A short Chemical Mechanical Polish (CMP) step may also be included to ensure uniformity of the wafer's surface.

    摘要: A high capacitance storage node structure is created in a substrate by patterning a hybrid resist (12) to produce both negative tone (16) and positive tone (18) areas in the exposed region (14). After removal of the positive tone areas (18), the substrate (12) is etched using the unexposed hybrid resist (12) and negative tone area (16) as a mask. This produces a trench (22) in the substrate (12) with a centrally located, upwardly projecting protrusion (24). The capacitor (26) is then created by coating the sidewalls of the trench (22) and protrusion (24) with dielectric (28) and filling the trench with conductive material (30) such as polysilicon.

    摘要: An image reversal method of turning hybrid photoresist spaces into resist lines for sub-feature size applications. The sub-feature size space width of the high resolution hybrid photoresist is largely independent of the lithographic process and mask reticles. These sub-feature size spaces formed by the hybrid resist are then turned into sub-feature size lines using Spin-On-Glass, SOG. The SOG is first coated over the entire patterned hybrid resist to fill in the hybrid spaces and cover the photoresist. SOG is then recessed back to expose the photoresist layer. The exposed photoresist is then removed. The sub-feature size lines are then left behind as a mask to pattern the same onto the underlying films on the substrate.

    摘要: Disclosed are a semiconductor structure and a method that allow for simultaneous voltage/current conditioning of multiple memory elements in a nonvolatile memory device with multiple memory cells. The structure and method incorporate the use of a resistor connected in series with the memory elements to limit current passing through the memory elements. Specifically, the method and structure incorporate a blanket temporary series resistor on the wafer surface above the memory cells and/or permanent series resistors within the memory cells. During the conditioning process, these resistors protect the transition metal oxide in the individual memory elements from damage (i.e., burn-out), once it has been conditioned.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method of making the same are disclosed which includes a DRAM cell which has a transistor which includes a gate. The gate includes an individual segment of gate conductor such as polysilicon on a thin dielectric material. The transistor further has a single crystal semiconductor substrate having a source/drain region. An active conducting wordline is deposited on top of and electrically contacting a segment gate conductor, the wordline being a conductive material having a top and sidewalls. Electrically insulating material completely surrounds the active wordline except where the active wordline contacts the segment gate conductor. The insulating material surrounding the active wordline includes silicon nitride overlying the top and surrounding a portion of the sidewalls thereof, and silicon dioxide surrounds the remainder of the side walls of the active wordline. A bitline contact contacts the source/drain region and the insulating material surrounding the active wordline to thereby make the bitline contact borderless to the wordline. A fully encased passing wordline is also provided which is spaced from and insulated from the segment gate conductor and the active wordline.

    摘要: The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides unique structure for connecting between a storage capacitor and a transfer device in a memory cell and a method for fabricating the same. The preferred embodiment of the present invention forms a capacitor structure having a “lip” at its top on the side the connection is to be made. To form the connection, dopant is diffused from the lower surface of the capacitor step and into the substrate, forming a surface strap to connect between the storage capacitor and the transfer device. This surface strap has the advantage of being self aligned with the storage capacitor and the transfer device, facilitating higher memory cell densities. The present invention can be used to form connections between storage capacitors and memory cells in a wide variety of devices.
