A partial vertical memory cell and fabrication method thereof. A semiconductor substrate is provided, in which two deep trenches having deep trench capacitors respectively are formed, and the deep trench capacitors are lower than a top surface of the semiconductor substrate. A portion of the semiconductor outside the deep trenches is removed to form a pillar between. The pillar is ion implanted to form an ion-doped area in the pillar corner acting as a S/D area. A gate dielectric layer and a conducting layer are conformally formed on the pillar sequentially. An isolation is formed in the semiconductor substrate beside the conducting layer. The conducting layer is defined to form a first gate and a second gate.

A method of forming a memory cell with a single sided buried strap. A collar oxide layer is formed on the sidewall of a trench. A conductive layer fills the trench. The conductive layer and the collar oxide layer are partially removed to form an opening having first and second sidewalls. The remaining collar oxide layer is lower than the remaining conductive layer. An angle implantation with F ions is performed on the first sidewall. A thermal oxidation process is performed to form a first oxide layer on the first sidewall and a second oxide layer on the second sidewall. The first oxide layer is thicker than the second oxide layer. The second oxide layer is removed to expose the second sidewall. A buried strap is formed at the bottom of the opening, insulated from the first sidewall by the first oxide layer.

A method for forming a semiconductor device having a trench top isolation layer. A collar insulating layer is formed over a lower portion of the sidewall of the trench formed in a substrate. A first conductive layer is formed in the lower portion of the trench and protrudes the collar insulating layer, and a second conductive layer is formed overlying the first conductive layer and covers the collar insulating layer. An insulating spacer is formed over an upper portion of the sidewall of the trench and separated from the second conductive layer by a gap. The second conductive layer is partially thermally oxidized to form an oxide layer thereon whereby the gap is filled. After the oxide layer is removed, a reverse T-shaped insulating layer is formed thereon by chemical vapor deposition to serve as a trench top isolation layer. Finally, the insulating spacer is removed.

A method to prevent electrical shorts between tungsten interconnects. First, a semiconductor substrate having an insulating layer thereon is provided. Then, the insulating layer is selectively etched to form a trench for interconnect. Then, a titanium nitride film is conformally deposited on the surface of the trench and the insulating layer. A tungsten layer is then deposited to fill the trench. Next, the tungsten layer above the titanium nitride film is removed by an ammonia hydrogen peroxide mixture (APM) solution. Next, the titanium nitride film above the insulating layer is removed by a sulfuric acid hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM) solution to leave a tungsten interconnect within the trench.

An opening is formed in the dielectric layer. The opening exposes a portion of the conductive layer. The opening is cleaned using a mixture containing sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. In this invention, the mixture containing sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide provides an effective means of removing the residues within the opening so that the electrical conductivity of a subsequently formed contact is improved.

A dielectric layer is deposited over the semiconductor substrate. An opening is formed in the dielectric layer to expose a portion of the diffusion region. An un-doped CVD silicon layer is deposited on interior walls of the opening. A pure CVD phosphorus layer is in-situ deposited on the un-doped CVD silicon layer. The pure CVD phosphorus layer thereafter diffuses into the subjacent un-doped CVD silicon layer to form a doped silicon layer. Subsequently, a second un-doped CVD silicon layer is in-situ deposited on the doped silicon layer.

A plasma treatment is subsequently performed on the dielectric layer using argon or nitrogen as a process gas. A capping layer is formed in-situ overlying the dielectric layer to serve as the ILD layer with the dielectric layer. A reflow process is subsequently performed on the ILD layer. A method for preventing formation of etching defects in a contact is also disclosed.

The invention provides a damascene gate process. A semiconductor substrate having a pad layer and an etch stop layer formed thereon is provided, and an insulating layer is formed to cover the etch stop layer, followed by forming an opening by partially removing the insulating layer, the etch stop layer, and the pad layer. A protective spacer is formed on the sidewall of the opening, wherein the top of the protective spacer is lower than the insulating layer. A gate conducting layer is then formed in the opening. The protective spacer and the insulating layer are removed to expose a portion of the semiconductor substrate and the etch stop layer. Implantation is then performed to form lightly doped drains. Agate spacer is then formed to cover the gate conducting layer. The etch stop layer and the pad layer are removed, and implantation is then performed to a form source/drain.
